Before you go thru all that, make sure that your jump doors are SECURELY closed. I had a S'cab and if the rearmost doors were not closed with some *** behind them, they would squeek like crazy.

Throw some WD40 or grease on the striker (the U bolt looking thing on the bottom and top of the doors that catch the door) and see if it still makes the squeek.

Oh... Just figured I would throw that out there.

There should only be a U clip holding on the lumbar **** and the seat adjustment **** on. Very similary to if you have ever removed the handle of the manual crank up windows. The U clip should just slide into a recession into the handle and the stud it mounts to.

Hate to bring this back from the dead but my passenger seat squeaks like mad nearly all the time. I think I found the issue, one of the seat bolts was loose. I tightened it and the noise has almost gone away. Anyone now what the seat bolt installation torque is? Any other causes of this squeak? Thanks.
