2Q's - chair squeaky/rear camera

Hey folks,

First time posting on this forum.
I've got a 2019 BRZ ts that I bought mid last year.

2 Questions:
1. The driver seat squeaks. It doesn't happen all the time but perhaps maybe 60% of the time? Does anyone know what the issue may be or how to fix this?
2. I think the rear camera isn't placed straight, it's on a slight angle. Can confirm this because I get to see the bottom of my car (if that makes sense) and it's not straight.

Thanks in advanced for anything that can provide insight!

1. are you driving the piss outta her and subjecting your car to high gs sideways? or maybe are you a big dude..?
2. if you're referring to the "bottom" of your car as seeing part of the rear bumper then yes that is normal. you gotta make sure you aren't running over any of the crickets that live in your hood.

1. Nah she's not being thrashed. I think i may no high g's during turns but the driver seat squeaking happened beforehand.
2. I have trouble gauging how much space i actually do have and what's being displayed on the dashboard.

I haven't actually messed with it, but have you tried moving the camera a bit or is it solid in place?

Is the squeak kind of like a click?
