Squeaky Drivers Seat

[jwheeler]

Does anyone else have problem with a squeaky drivers seat? It squeaks on bumpy roads and lanes changes (lateral movement). I took it to the dealer and they replaced the seat rails on it. But sure enough in a couple of days it started squeaking again. I'm scheduled to go back in again in a couple of days. I'm tempted to tell them to replace the entire seat, but I don't know if that will do any good. Any thoughts on this would be appreciated.

No, but I have a problem with a squeaky front PASSENGER seat. It only squeaks when someone sits in it- on bumpy roads and lane changes like yours. I've got a feeling it's the metal coils inside the seat itself, not the seat rails. BTW, my car is a CV not a MM but it sounds (sorry- bad pun) like we both have the same problem.

Only squeaking I hear from the passenger side, is from my G/F when I hit WOT on any on-ramp. After we settle into traffic, she kinda shivers a bit, smiles, says "thanks," and lights a cigarette. WTF...

I got to get her a seat cover, if this continues, it's gonna leave a stain...

Sarge--You just kill me!!!! :lol:

I had my Marauder serviced 2 months ago for the squeaky seat problem. The dealer claimed that 3 out of 4 bolts were loose on the rails. This reduced the noise factor by 10, but I still experience squeaky front passenger seats.

Mac, sounds like the GF needs a few mods!

Mac: LMFAO!!!!!!!


So far only the bed squeeks, what mod for the.................

The only squeak I hear in ours is the seat rubbing on the console, if I put my hand between the two the squeaking stops.

Modding the G/F isn't a problem, Bill, she's become quite...umm...flexible? Anyone ever check out just how flat these front seats fold back! BTW, she has mentioned how "practical" a Kilt seems to be.

What I need to do, is mod my clout with the DOT. Everything between my home and her's, is an off ramp. When I do get her "booty call," by the time we get back to my place, she's asleep!

I just have to move, find myself an address that places a small airport, or, landing field between our homes. All the on-ramps we've shared so far, have been trips to suburban outlet malls, need I remind any of us what follows her...cigarette?

Strolling through a shopping mall with a depressed woman who soothes herself with a buying frenzie, (I know, I've been married) will never hold a candle to the jog through of a happy woman...Never.

Thank the Lord for plastic, I just hope she sticks around until I pay off the balance...LOL.

And thank the Lord too, for my mods. As long as I keep adding s**t to my MM, I'm good to go. The G/F loves my "testing" rides, but she's always whispering in my ear, some nonsense about a "dyno ride," or, a "ride on a dyno." What ever...Some women just don't get RWHP, or torque numbers. They...Oh, nevermind.

The ricers at GRD are gonna love this...

You allow smoking in the 'Rauder?!?!?!

:uzi: :rasta:


j/k it's your car....

[jwheeler]

That's not the squeaking I was refering to, but I'm not opposed to squeaking as by product of G/F Mod.

G/F Bone Stock
No Squeaks

G/F Stage One Mods - 2 Drinks
Brief Squeak followed by an "I love you!"

G/F Stage Two Mods - Flowers + 4 Drinks
Squeak may come and go for up to 4 to 5 minutes.

G/F Stage Three - Flowers + 4 Drinks + Something Gold and Expensive
Squeak persists for duration of ride or 7 minutes whatever "comes" first!

These mods were validated by many dyno runs over the years, individual results may vary!

You guys are funny, I just hope they can fix my real squeak without all of the floral, alcohol, and something gold and expensive!

:lol: My thought as well

[MM03MOK]

Mac,

You crack me up!! I don't suppose the G/F gets a chance to see this board. I promise I won't tell. ;-)

:lol:

[martyo]

Sarge, you must be good if you can leave your GF smoking afterwards!!

[mdmarauder]

I have the squeaking seat problem also. My dealer tried to tighten the rails. It did nothing. I have to take it back in to see if they will replace the entire seat. I hate it it's the only thing that squeaks or rattles in the whole car. Arghh!

[mtnh]

Hey Mac, you'd better get those seats covered BEFORE you add a blower, from what mensrea said about those on-ramps.

[Mark [N4OGL]]

I hate to drag this otherwise stimulating conversation back to the subject but.....


I had this problem in my old SHO and took it to an upholstery shop to look at. The guy there said it's the way the seats are built. Lear or Johnson (whoever makes the seats) puts the support springs in the frame and then sprays the foam in under them - so it's not really all bonded together properly.

The (cheap and effective) solution the upholsterer used was to take the seat out of the car and put a piece of fabric between the springs and the foam. This not only stopped the squeaking, but firmed up the seat to boot.

FWIW,

Mark

[mdmarauder]

Mark,

You mean the springs that are visable under the seat? You can see springs under the seat and foam above it.

[Mark [N4OGL]]

Yep - those are them (er, they?). Anyway - put some carpet between the springs and the foam and it'll quiet down.
