I am getting an annoying creaking between the bottom outside bolster and the plastic trim on the bottom of the seat.
Anyone else getting this and any easy fix?
Thanks Rob

My seatbelt rubs on the seat just above my shoulder, annoying noise that took ages to work out where it was coming from and not been able to stop it. Suggestions welcome.

I've got the half leather half suede performance seats and have a creak. Doesn't sound like rubbing. Sounds like the seat mounting bolts. It's in for its first service next week so have asked the dealer to check it then too.

I initially thought it was the rear parcel shelf and eventually worked out it was the seatbelt. These noises are almost impossible to pinpoint.

Mine is definitely the seat base bolster edge against the hard plastic trim.
Fortunately not when driving only when getting in and out.
You can push down on the bolster and hear it.
There is a You Tube video of the same noise but no solution although the video does say that the problem is fixed.

Try putting a cloth or other piece of fabric between the seat and the surrounding trim. If the creaking go's away, you've solved the puzzle. If not look to other areas such as the door trim against the rear bulkhead trim.

........default solution is to turn the stereo up :ugeek:........... :D
