Default Squeaking behind my right ear

Hi guys,

I've this annoying squeaking behind my right ear, can't seem to locate anything rubbing (it SOUNDS plastic-plastic or rubber-plastic).

It's almost certainly not the hood, and isn't the seat (as far as I can tell).

Has anyone else had/got this, and what is it? Car is going to dealers later today, would like a couple of ideas before I go, as there's only 3 weeks warranty left.

Cheers,

Martin

My seat belt squeaks like a mouse where it touches the seat. It's doing my nut in but I keep forgetting to sort it out!

Nah, seat belt wouldn't squeak like that, and besides, it sounds further back.

But keep the ideas coming!

Hmmm seriously check the plastic guide thing the seatbelt goes through on top of the seat - sometimes that creaks against the seat, sounds like you are describing.....

Other than that, not sure sorry!

bit of (black in my case) electrical tape on the seat where the seatbelt rubs.
