I hope everyone is enjoying the Easter break.

My pure driver’s bucket seat is creaking from around the two harness holes. I’ve tried some silicon spray on the joints, tightened the bolts up and stuffed some felt tape in between the seat cover and plastic but the creaking persists.

It’s either the plastic trim or the cushion rubbing on the fibre glass shell.

I believe the dealers strip the seat and lubricate but as I’m out of warranty I was wondering if anyone else has managed to cure the creaking themselves?

My bucket seat seemed to be creaking from the same area, turns out one of my rear bolts was coming loose and whenever it was loose the seat would creak.

Another area to watch for is the leather squeaking against the shell of the seat where it tucks in around the back of the seat, lubricant helps there.

Thanks, I’ll recheck the bolts. There doesn’t seem to be any creaking from the leather when I tried moving it but I’ll try to lubricate just in case
