Squeaky seat

I have a squeaking rear seat, the "60" split part behind the driver. Only seems to do it when they're in the normal position and also seem ok if someone is sat on it. I can't for the life of me work it out when I'm driving and the wife and kids have lost the will to live trying to help me.... I've greased the latch on the floor and that made no difference so I'm guessing it may be something internal.

Any other ideas and are they easy to get into if I need to carry out some surgery?

Short term, a tin of silicon spray on anything that moves(or does but shouldn't) or just strap a child in all the time, just take them out at feeding time

Me too, same problem in my DC, its driving me mad. I have stripped out one seat so far but cannot find anything wrong. The squeak has now turned into a rattle - squeak. Will try to strip out the other two seats tonight. If I find anything I will let you know.

Thanks both. I'll try the silicon on everything trick first and look forward to hearing what's found inside!!

Check that the little square rubber pads affixed to the body have not moved, been lost where the seat body meets the tub.

Thanks, I did suspect that at one stage as the rubber had separated from its sticky tape. I put it back together and it's not moved since so I'm not sure....
