Driver seat problem - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I'm now having a problem with my driver seat. It started to have the annoying sound after about 18,000km.

I've tried to remove all nuts and bolts underneath the seat then screw them all up tightly.

However, it doesnt solve the problem. It still makes that loosen up nuts sound.

Any suggestion would be helpful. I dont wanna change my seats to Recaro seats just because of having this problem.

lube the joints? Check for loose parts that could be rattling?

Not sure what the pics you posted have to do with your problem.... Do you have a video you can post of the sound?

what kind of sound is it?
My car has an annoying squeaky sound coming from my passenger seat. I figured out that it was the wires connected to the seat buckle. its wrapped in a type of electrical tape and when it rub it between your two fingers it creates that sound. So it gets rubbed together when youre driving

My driver seat makes a popping noise from the bottom seat cushion. I think one of the upholstery ribs might be broken on the inside of the seat and is popping against the hog ring.

I think it's because you're driving from the passenger seat!

But seriously, I would make sure you know that your seat is the problem. Take the seat out and get a friend to help you shake it around for a bit to see if you can hear it.

If you can't find it, try to find a strip of road that it always creeks along. Take the seat out and drive it. See if the sound is still there.

I had this rattle in my Civic that was due to a nut falling in a little space under the carpeting. I thought it was one of the seat bolts too.

Failing that, just greasy them up real good when you put the seat back in.

I have the exact same problem!! Thought I was going nuts. Will need to look into this but it is an intermittent popping sound. Any update would be appreciated.
