Squeaking second row seats

Owen Rogers · Feb 7, 2020

Hey everyone, I love this forum and am relatively new to the LR community. I love my 2015 LR4 but recently the second row side seat seems to be squeaking if no one is sat in it. Does anyone have a fix or thoughts on how to address this very annoying noise? I have tried securing the bolts. Greased it up, but still the noise is there.

Cheer, Owen

I had the same problem with my RRS and found the greasing and tightening didn't work. But when I loosened the bolts so I could actually move the seats a little bit it stopped. So I put some washers under the bolts to pick up more of the seat frame area just as a hunch and the noises went away immediately. Strange but true, hope this helps.

Thanks Ken, I will try this ASAP and get back to you!

Mine does the same thing. Folding and dropping the seat down to the lowest position stops it. I leave it here for several days and then put the seat back in the upright position. The noise stays gone for a couple weeks then starts again. It sounds like it is coming from inside the seat. Two pieces of metal vibrating against each other inside. I think it is part of the relay that locks and unlocks the seat into position.

....this problem seems like a design flaw. I think it will take unhooking and peeling off some of the leather on the seatback and snooping around, but im afraid that will ultimately destroy the seat.

Windows down and radio up usually takes care of this issue
