Clubsport - Creaking Bucket Seats

[Aidey]

Mine has creaked for months, and it drives me mad, everytime i shift it the seat, theres the damn noise.... I found a fix was to adjust the seat to a higher level and it cured , but felt the seating position was way too high for me then!!
I will try the grease fix and see what that does..

I found raising it slightly worked for a short while but it some back. I’m sure the creaking is coming from the seat back not the frame/runners on mine

Phone vw uk and local dealer and non of them had a clue and said they didn’t know of any issues with these seats

Yea same here the dealers or Vw have no clue about it, and when i took mine it, typically after driving 40 mile to my dealer the creak was not there when i was parked up!.
It is annoying, i have had the plastic trim off the back of the seat and used bits of foam to seal the edges where plastic meets plastic.. think i may be defeated on this one

I had a couple of clios with Recaros one car freaked one was fine

The one that freaked was the bracket which the backrest mounted too coming slightly loose

To access them was a pain though as the airbag covers are tamper proof

Do the panels on the golf recaro seats come off ok?

I haven't got the buckets but I have found there are a lot of creaks and rattles in the car (ED40) - bit disappointing (and annoying) to be honest.

The irony of your name in that case

I fixed mine, i found that it was the grey plastic on the back making a noise when it came into contact with the black glossy plastic, i got the wife to travel in the back and she confirmed the noise, so i took the grey panels off, saw that reccaro had already put tiny pieces of sticky back cloth in here and there, so i bought some myself and lined all the edges, put the panels back in and a month later no more creaks from the seat at all...

Hi there, I got my CCS in June - I drove it a bit over the summer and the drivers seat has creaked / squeaked pretty much since I owned it.  Warranty is out shortly so I booked it in at Drift Bridge to have them take a look.  I may try the white grease trick see if that works - not the end of the world but really annoying. Car is only on 5k.

On a side note people must be coming up to 3rd yr service and MOT - where in South East is good dealership - any recommendations ?
