AAHRRRRRRRRRR, horrible interior squelling!???
« on: 08 October 2008, 21:55 »
Has anybody had a REALLY annoying intermitent squeek from inside their car? -In the rear on the drivers side!
I've had my girlfriend sit in the back to listen where it's coming from but sods law it then never occurs!
Any info much appreciated! Cheers.

If it's not there when your GF sits at the back, maybe there's a problem with either the seat/screws/fittings or seat belts/fittings?

Have you tried dropping the rear seat back down and then slamming it back home into position. It's the first thing I do when I get a rear squeak. :smiley:

Have you lowered the car or fitted coilovers. When I did mine I had a really annoying noise when I went over bumps. Turned out to be the anti roll bar bushes. I loosened the roll barr tightened back up = no more squeek

I had exactly the same and did exactly the same, only my GF never heard anything  :rolleyes:
Eventually I put household scotch on the white metallic things (what are they called? sorry) on which the rear sits lock. I put quite a lot of tape and then slammed the sits back. Seems to work so far. Now have rattles from the front.  :sad:
