So my driver's seat is now making a squeaking sort of noise. Kind of sounds like a bed with bad springs.

I saw where a lot of you guys had that problem... any of you fix it?

Or am I doomed to have to listen to the squeak?

Find the mouse and kill it.

But seriously it's probably just the springs making noise. I know mine haven't been making any noise. How many miles are on your car?

The side of my driver seat touches the center console when I sit in it, causing a rubbing noise. I don't think there is a fix for that.

I also had a problem with the lumbar support. It would rub and squeak when I rocked the seat. Try to find out if the squeak goes away if you pump / deflate it (Ok there is no air in this but you get the idea!). The dealer fixed it by putting a piece of fabric between it and the seat internals.

same problem here. Any DIY solutions?

how much do you people weigh ? sounds terrible , but when my like 400 lb inlaw wanted to take my GT for a spin I had to refuse, there is just plain and simple not enoug room for him to get in the seat let alone try an operate it !

I weigh 178 and have 5000 miles on my car. The car still has that new-car smell so this really is annoying.

I'll try the lumbar thing HolyPony thanks. Do you know if there's a way to put fabric in there without having to take it in?

yeah... mine's really squeeky too... I just turned 7K on it, but it's been goin' on for the last 1K miles. hadn't tried the lumbar deally...

Mine used to do this as well, then I played around with the inflate and deflate thing and it just went away.

mrkabc

+1 on that

24k miles, 225 lbs... Leather is starting to look crappy though... that sucks...

My squeak goes away when I open the windows and stomp on the go pedal. Seriously, I just figured my squeaking seat would give me a reason to replace it with a seat with better support for racing anyway.

Rented a GT-H with 8k miles with squeaky seat as well.

Another thing that can happen is the seat belt buckle rubs agaisnt the seat and makes an odd noise if you have leather, i might try to pad it some how to stop that, but now i just have to move the buckle back whenever i get in the car, you can see an indentation in the seat where it rests.

Do all of you have leather? I have cloth seats and a whole lot of squeaking.

Stoenr

Glad Im not the only one with a squeeky(leather) seat. Has been bugging the heck out of me. I will try the lumbar thing next time

Imatk

I have cloth as well.

Funny, I never noticed this until now...

If it is coming from the seat back and sounds like foam on metal, it could be the foam pad rubbing on the seat frame. If this is the case, then removing the seat cover and the foam, and covering the seat frame with duct tape and/or the contact area in the foam pad might work. I had to have 2 seat back frames replaced in my '99 due to the seat back frame squeeking, which was more of a metallic sound. Sounded like a wore out mattress.

Imatk

Well I tried the lumbar thing and that worked. I deflated it a little and no more squeak.

Thanks HolyPony

Gotta love Ford... quality is truly job 1.

mrkabc

Hahahaha! Give it time and your lumbar thingee will blow out anyway. ALL my previous 'Stangs with lumbar have failed within the first year or so... waiting on this one...
