I've had a squeaky seat for ages, just moving it up and down seems to help for a bit but then it squeaks again 🤷‍♂️

Still creaking even after raising it, I will ring the dealer and keep my fingers crossed.

Do you mean when you lean?

When I take mine in for a service soon I'm going to get them to look at it

Just check it’s not the seat belt catch rubbing on the seat, found mine squeaky a year so ago - stopped after a while

Mine is the same! Mainly notice it on left hand corners. My previous 7.5 didn’t do it.

I posted a while ago and someone suggested moving seat up and down which does stop but it starts again. Got some GT85 so if I can find out where to spray it then I’d have a go!
