sd1800 Member 51 Member For: 14y 3m 26d Posted 08/11/15 04:28 AM Share Posted 08/11/15 04:28 AM I have an intermittent squeak from both my front seats (mk2 XR leather). Is this a common issue, and can you point me in the right direction as to how to fix it? Is it just a matter of greasing up the rails, or is there more involved?

Only happens when giving the go loud pedal something to do.
