I'm about 5000 miles on now and my Up has developed a really squeaky driver's seat. It seems to be coming from the squab and it is irritating (and loud!) beyond belief. Has anyone else had a seat problem?

It's booked into the dealer but I can't manage for a few weeks yet......

1lb of butter on the seat and switch on the heated seat...will cure it

seriously though...squeaks drive me potty....I'd check the folding mech...may need a wee squirt of silicone/ptfe spray

I don't have a wife.... it's an accessory I can live without

Any development? Mine has now developed a squeak again (5000 miles) in and its doing my head in...

I'm going to be screwed then. At 27-and-a-bit stone I imagine mine will start squeaking (whenever I actually decide to get my up) the moment I get it

Well I'm a big lad also but this definitely feels/ looks like a fault. Esp since others are reporting a very similar problem - think I will need to practice levitation, that or I'm gonna rip the seat out and sit on a box....

Problem is with us being on the larger side, you know the first thing the dealer will assume/imply is that's the cause and give some rubbish excuse like "cars of this size are meant for the more petite" and so on. At which point I'd just sit on him till he gets it fixed

Of course it's all rubbish either way, a fault is a fault and they should fix it regardless. Hope the dealer sorts something out for you.

Cheers bud, fingers crossed...

Think I will send the wife in to drop off the car

Would be keen to here from any other others that have been to the dealers for a fix...help!

I also have a squeaky seat that similarly drives me mad. I have sprayed the entire mechanism underneath the seat in wd40 but to no avail. Think I'll be booking mine in too! Glad someone else had posted about this as I thought I was the only one.

Especially when cornering ?

If so, try some grease on the seat rails.
You need to get it between the rail and the seat's clamp on the rail, so move the seat back & forth a few times.
