Has anyone had problems with any part of there interior squeaking ?
Over the past few months my car has developed a rather annoying and fairly constant squeak. This just happens when ever it feels like, doesn't seem to be anything to do with bumpy roads etc.
I got my girlfriend to sit in the back and try and pinpoint the noise (no luck there......

)
Any chance it could be one of the front seats ??!!!
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated - I will try and get it to the dealers some time soon.
cheers

That reminds me, sunroof also squeaks/vibrates when on tilt - will Lexus deal with this, or is it a case of dont tilt it.

i sometimes get a little rattle bottom right of dash - thought was keys but if hold them, still get it. Only occasional so will leave it.
Buckle is very annoying - getting them changed for 2nd time on Friday.
Also notice that clutch pedal occasionally squeeks, if you put your foot on it, press it down then move foot side to side, pedal moves a bit and squeeks - annoying!!!

I've got an intermittant squeek on the drivers seat. Around the left buttock area.
Mine's in for a service now and they're apparently changing that part of the seat for a new one.

a very common squeak is caused by plastic parts within the belt buckle rubbing together, this is cured in 2 mins by applying a few drobs of oil into the buckle and operating the release button until the squeaking stops.

I used the good old WD40 for my squeaky passenger seat and that fixed it

I had this problem 2 and it is on the front passenger side near the door & gloove compartment. Anyone had this 2 & care to share the remedy. Thanks

Anyone got a cure for the seat belt spring rattle - I currently leave belt slightly twisted to stop the noise but it looks really untidy ...

My Seat has just started squeaking in the past week. Same as RYX above. Around the left buttock area. Bl**dy annoying it is too. I'll be speaking to the dealer soon. Just want to make sure it does it [u]all [/u]the time, otherwise i'll take it in and the ruddy thing won't squeak for the dealer! Don't you just hate it when that happens!!
Apart from that there does seem to be a rattle coming from the rear of the inside, but can't figure out exactly where it's from.
Have fun
