Front seats squeak

I have removed the front seats in both my 2000, and 2001 Aleros. The problem is that they do not sit properly as far as the front is concerned so they rock forward to back a bit and make noise. How do I properly re-install the front seats.

My seat rocks like that too, but I just put some graphite lube on it and it does not squeak anymore. I just got used to the little rocking.

Hello: Move seats all the way forward, raise seat up as far as it will go. Remove covers over seat tracks in rear(go through the back door on each side) remove 15mm nut or bolt on each track, pick up rear of seat far enough to release the front hooks pull seat back and lift seat out of car.

KIA: Optima - AirBag warning light stays on...

I had the same problem on our 2003 sedona. Turned out one of the wires in the driver's seat belt is infamous for going bad and the repair is usually replacing the seat belt. I would have thought they would have cured that by now.

Squeak in front end

Okay....I have been working on my boss' car for a week with this SAME issue....first....try to figure out the spot it is coming from. This part is the pain. Second, have a can of WD-40 and spray it into any joint you find. This squeek could be from an upper bushing, a lower bushing, an A arm bushing, or any other bushing on that side....so start out with this method first because it will only cost you a few dollars, or free if you have it already. But do one at a time till you find it. Then, you'll know what item to replace.

I have a 1990 audi 200. When accs. turn on alternater belt squeak

I agree. Replace the battery first. It's under the back seat, which will lift up after undoing two screws in the front of the bottom of the seat. Remove negative terminal, remove positive terminal, lift old battery out, put in new one, attach positive terminal, attach negative terminal, reinstall seat, and you're done.

If that's not the issue, you may need to replace the alternator.

Squeeky windows and front seats

Go to the auto parts store and ask for advice (They are usually very helpful especially Advanced Auto Parts) or purchase a can of dw40 or similar lubricating product and spray the seat metal joints under the seat.
As to the window, if it's squeaking where the glass meets the rubber spray the rubber or treat it with armor all.

Hope this helps!
