I had a creaking passengers seat there was a fix involved moving the rear casing then oiling up all the joints, not actually done it yet just turn the radio up louder lol.

Ours creak slightly. They also move about half an inch back and forth. There is some sort of problem with the track's. I've heard of a few that do it. Its one of the joys of having a "rare" car
Do what we did. Get a louder exhaust

Mine started creaking a bit. I realised it's my fat ass pushing out the side part of the seat on to the hand break shaft. I find shifting my ample butt slightly stops it. Long term solution is to get the chrismas weight off and cut down on the pies.

Thats a blast from the past, I one point I did a full explaination/write up on removing the seat rear covers and greasing everything in sight !! Although it was about 2 years ago. On my car the frame was a little rusty also.

Before attempting to remove the panel you need to get replacement clips - 2 per seat. The lumbar support is all plastic and most of the time it is that moving around/creaking TBH.

My passenger seat also rattles occationally and I have taken it out and padded everything on the seat mounts. Sorry, I am terrible with rattles etc and have to cure everything (hence my soundproofing etc). Just need to sort my noisy fan out now.

Cheers
