Default LWB Seat Creaking

Recently my driver side LWB seat has been creaking when I shift my weight side to side or back. It’s loud enough to hear when I accelerate with the windows down. I’ve isolated the noise to the rails and seat slider mechanism. If I slide the seat back and forth a few times the noises go away for a day or so. I’ve greased what I can access but it’s a tight fit under the seat. My car is a 2018 so pretty new.

Has anyone else had this issue and found a good solution? Thanks

Something might be loose, just pull out the seat and check all the bolts, it's only takes 10min to pull the seat out.

Mine in GT4 was creaking but felt like if was fully fixed. In the curves one side was moving for some mm and it was making a ticking noise. The rails were replaced and now it is fixed.

Same thing happened also in my GT3T and it will go to the 2 year inspection and i will ask them to replace the rails.

The passenger seat (LWB) in my GT3T would get this weird vibration at certain speeds/RPM's. It took the dealer two visits to correct it, but has not come back. FWIW, this is the ONLY issue I've had in my car and it's now 2-1/2 years old with almost 13,000 miles.

Mine creaks as well — but it’s in the head rest area. Sounds like CF rubbing against the leather.

Mine creaks when I lean my head back. Thinking of putting some oil on the leather to quiet things down a litte. How do you pry the headrest puck out? From the front or front the back?

Now does anyone know how to pop the CF harness loops out?
