That bolster fabric wear issue is largely due to the habit of wearing a wallet in our back pockets. I don't and mine is good as new. :victory:

I carry my wallet in my left front pocket so I can't even blame that...  :undecided: :confused:

You're sure it's the seat ? Rusty nuts will sqeak when rubbed together

The squeaking isn't the problem, it's the hole worn in the seat bolster...and I can't blame my nutz for that...  :D

it is the springs rubbing the foam which causes the sqeek,best thing is to remove seat covers only a few clips and zip hold it on. and just grease the spring inprint on the foam,
