squeaky seats in 996 gen 1 (1999)

Post by Rob996 »

Hi all,

I have found that my passenger seat squeaks when it is high, but not when it is low?

If it is high and somebody is sat in out is ok, so assume that it is the mechanism.

Anybody any ideas where I need to look, and if a drop of grease would solve it?

Thanks
Rob

I would give underneath the seat a spray with WD40 and put something over the carpet to catch any drips. If you use the red straw you should be able to get into the mechanism ok.
