NOISE from Driver Leather Seat

Has any one had a problem with the weather, now that it is cold making a noise between the plastic piece for the recline on the driver side and the leather. Mine squeaks evertime I shift my weight around from going around corners. Anyone else having this problem?I was thinking about sticking a piece of black felt between the leather and the plastic. Any other suggestions?

I guess you could say it's a noise from the stetching of the leather . But it only happens when it's in contact with the plastic.

I had a noise from the leather rubbing the plastic, the seat design is poor, don't know about you guys but im 230 so the seat gets pushed down over the plastic (poor design) and squeaks. Dealer basically lined the entire seats where the leather contacts the plastic with a soft felt material. No squeak and I can't even tell anything has been done.

Use a leather conditioner on the inside part behind the plastic recliner piece, it needs to be moisturized. It WILL get rid of the squeaking, worked for me but I have Recaros now and the same procedure applies.
