Default Driver's Seat Cushion Squeak

I'm not sure if anyone has had this problem, but my driver's seat is squeaking quite a bit. It is starting to be very annoying as any time I roll over a bump that causes me to shift at all squeaks the seat on the right side. It looks like the bottom right bolster's cushion is rubbing on something, and it sounds something like a piece of foam rubbing oddly against another piece of foam or some weird part of the seat. This isn't the said as the TSIB for the ISx50 squeaking, as that I believe is something to do with the seat railings on the bottom. As I'm not exactly a huge guy (I weight 175-80), I'm a bit surprised the cushion would either A) wear down, B) be shifted in such a way that it is causing an annoying squeak. Just to make sure it was only one seat, I went and bounced around on the passenger seat and that thing is quiet as a mouse. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem.

My seat did the exact same thing. I took it in to the dealership yesterday and they fixed it in about 15 minutes. They had to tighten some bracket in the seat. Now it's back to normal with no squeaking at all! No charge either, since it was a warranty service!!

SICK! Glad to hear they are able to fix this, because it was really starting to get annoying.

Yep, same here...took it in and they fixed it, although, a month later, I think I hear a creak every now and then...hope it is not coming back.

My passenger seat does this every time someone sits in it. The dealer told me the left-side seat bolster was rubbing my center console. So they put some felt there to lessen the squeak. It did but it still makes the noise. I'd love to know what nut was tightened..i'd fix it myself.
