Thx, I've already had the TSIB done on the seat rattle from the track, beneath the seat, this squeak is definitely inside, and I don't believe has a TSIB. I'm sure we'll get it figured out. Just wanted others to know that it's out there, in case you notice any strange noises!

Update. They are ordering me a new seat, after noticing the seat/track appears bent.

Glad to hear Lexus is taking care of it..

I had a similar noise in my car, on the left side of the driver seat, it would squeek going around corners.. It actually turned out to be the rear seat bolts. Tightened those up, no more squeek.

Good to know, so you tightened it down yourself?

Regarding the new seat, I'm debating about just dealing with the current seat until just before my warranty is up... so I am gauranteed a new seat after 4 years of use with this one!

Yep, just move your seat all the way forward, pop the cover and tighten the bolts down, piece of cake. 14mm socket works perfect..

The bolts weren't loose to the point where the seat moved around, but were loose enough that the chassis flex around corners, and off camber driveways and such would cause a squeek.

Im not sure if it was the seat squeeking from the flex or the seat mounts moving around but it fixed it.. It was starting to drive me crazy, couldn't track down exactly where it was coming from.

Give it a shot, beats having someone messing around with the interior of your car.

I will give that a try next time, but the primary squeak this time around was coming from the inside of the seat.

Regarding the other items, I believe there is a TSIB for squeks from some bad clips, not related to the bolts you tightened down, keep that in mind if a different set of squeaks returns.

Just got my seat, noticed a small crease at the corner, apparently it was condensed a bit from packaging and shipping. They say it'll go away over time. Did you notice anything like that on yours?
