My driver seat started squeeking last summer. And it gets worse.

I am pretty sure its from the seat base/slider area. This problem started last summer and got worse over time. In the beginning i got rid of the noise sliding the seat from max forward to back a few times. That maybe lubed the slider?

Could it be noise from base/slider out of alignment or the seat adjustment lever rubbing? Or only need for lubrication?

Please check this. Squeeking also when pulling the lever

Haha that’s a great video. I had exact same problem/noise with my 997.2 buckets. Just use a dry lube spray on all moving bits under the seats Only took a tiny squirt here and there and the noise disappeared.

I can’t honestly remember exactly where, but sure it was the fore/aft lever. I also lubed the runners and spring mech- I do remember using paper and masking tape to protect carpet for any possible runoff. Used WD brand dry lube with not much residue anyway. Also no smell !
