Default squesky driver side seat

Hello friends!
Does anybody also having a squeaky seat? Apparently my driver side seat has been making this squeaky noise since a year ago and it is getting so annoying. Normal driving is fine but when car surges up and down it starts to squeaky again. The problem is, I can't find where it is coming from! I don't know if it is coming from inside of the seat or where seat gets attached to the rail?? It sounds exactly same as an old mattress that squeaks due to old springs inside. Anyone having same problem?
Thanks!

yah, if its inside the seat i dont think you can fix it. see if your fasteners to the floor is loose or not. shoud be 36ft/lbs. if i remember correctly, i think it was either a 12mm or 14mm

I've got the same problem. Not sure what part of the seat is squeaking.

Do you guys have touring seats too?

There was a service bulletin on these awhile ago. Did you use the search engine? It had the all of the information on it. I took my my car and had it fixed. Check it out with your dealer.

the service bulletin for the knocking noise during fast turns was already done... by me. it's not that. unless you know of one dedicated for squeaking noise, or boing noise caused by fatarse smog checker.

I have it, too. I think it's down near the adjusting knobs on the left side. if you pull up from the black plastic piece under the knobs, it will squeak 'on demand' hahaha. Probably something that can be handled with a little WD-40.
