I have what sounds like a metal on metal squeak coming from the rear interior of the car. If I fold the rear seats down, the squeak goes away so I'm pretty sure the latches are the culprits. I've tried spraying wd-40 on them as well as wrapping the latches on the seat backs with electrical tape. This did reduce the squeak, but not get rid of it entirely.

Does anyone have a fix or suggestion other than leaving the seats folded down, turn up the radio, or drive the grocery getter?

Thanks

there's a tbs on this. The only reason i know is becuase i work at a dealership and i had mine fixed the day it came out. It was bothering the hell out of me lol.

 

Do you have any idea as to what they did to fix it or what the TSB # is?

 

i know they used double sided tape..... lol but i'll find out the tbs # tomorrow if you still need it.

 

I too have this sound and would like to know how to fix it. My dealership always says they can't find it.

thats copied out of the actual report, so the tsb # is 07-08-50-001

 

There's a TSB??? Whooo-Hoooo!
I put a microfibre towel in between the leather and the latches and that worked fine but after reading this I'll bring her in and fix it properly. Thx!

 

Sounds like that johnson rod is acting up again... or maybe its your mcjackson cork screw..... ;-)

I would be curious to see what this "squeak reduction tape" looks like.

 

ahaha i think thats just fancy word for wrap it up in duct tape! lmao! duct tape FTW!!
