Default Seats squeaks when tilted all the way back

When my seat is tilted all the way back I get a sqeak from it rubbing against something. If I bring it to the next notch up I get no squeak, but all the way back is much more comfortable. I don't think it is seat belt related but I am not 100% sure.

Anyone?

seat rubbing against the car?
(if so, the fix might be something like a velcro tape with material on it)

not really a wash & wax topic... and you should get more responses if i move this

Had a similar problem with the passenger seat, it was rubbing the rear wall when I hit bumps. I left it at the same tilt and moved the seat forward one click and it fixed my problem.

im thinking its prob the headrest part touching the rollbar covers..thats what happens with mine...i just move the whole seat a bit forward and then move the back part so you have a little bit of a lean.

yeah same here, it squeaks when the back of the seat or headrest rubs the back wall. move ur seat up one click. if u must have it all the way back to touch, prolly need to add a soft cloth in between to minimize the friction.

Are the hooks still attached behind the seat? If so, take those off. It'll help.

yeah its the back of the headrest hitting the rollbar trim. Just live with it up a notch.
