| Squeaking seat - any advice? The driver side seat in the 2002 S has started squeaking like mad. I sprayed some WD40 on the underside (hey, it's the cure to everything!) and it stopped. For a day! Any advice? Can you buy spray on "grease" as a more long term fix?  |

| My JCW seat does this in my new S after being "professionally" installed by BMW. It's been back twice for the problem... Strange how Damo fitted the same seat to my old Cooper and it was ok for 6 months......  |

| Mine too!  Grrrrr!I'm gonna take mine out when the airbagwires are being done and have a fiddle....will let you know (if anyone has a fix i'd be interested so i can try it when i remove mine) This is the most unprofessional bit of site management I have seen since I was banned from a certain other site...at least they had the excuse that they were enthusiasts who had strong views and not professionals paid to keep thier cool! |

| I think my seat is squeaking but i just cant tell if its the seat for definite  . it happens at motorway speeds when the surface isnt 100% smooth. And its so annoying!!Its like a squeaky rattle. Where should I spray the rocol stuff (when I get some) ?  |

| My 2005 MCS had a squeaking seat and when the dealer took the car in to look at it they said there was some plastic still on the seat which was causing the squeaking so they removed this and it did seam to help. |

| Apparently, the red areas are the places to hit.   Last edited by Paul; May 18th, 2010 at 06:32 PM. |
