squeaking noise with the bench seat

[StevenZhang]

My cali is almost a year old, but since a month ago, as long as I was driving, the bench seat kept making squeaking noise. When I put it on a flat bed, the noise disappeared. I have tried various methods to deal with it, but none of them are useful. I will not go to the garage to repair it during the lockdown period. Does your Cali have such a problem?

T6.1 Squeak on rear bench seat

Took 3 days to find the squeak. lowly driving me insane. It’s the rear bench seat rubber pads that are under the bench seat and locate on the metal frame of the bench drawer. Hopefully pictures tell a thousand words. Used two strips of Felt Tape. Squeak eliminated. :cheers

I’m still trying to source the root cause of the squeak !

Under the seat, put some stickers on, the squeak noise almost gone! A little bit still there, I will check later.

After driving on the road for a while, I found that the squeaking sound still there, I will continue to check tomorrow.

Get some waterproof towel and put it around the white bush, then spray WD40 on the white bush.
do all 4 bushes as I’ve circled in green on my thread. Good luck

After opening the seat more than a dozen times and pasting dozens of soft stickers under it, and spraying wd40 on all the joints of the seat, the nasty squeaking sound finally disappeared! So happy. Thank you for your good suggestions in this forum.
