Anybody else having this problem? Anybody come up with a cure for this besides turning up the radio?

But I have noticed large gaps between the back and bum of the front seats. This may have something to so with it. The seat only squeaks on occasion. I just punch the seat near the top or the headrest. Seems to work for a little while . 2003 Hyundai Tiburon GT 6-speed Black -former owner of a 1999 Navy SE Sport ATX

It's such a pain in the a$$ - or should I say, under the a$$. I've noticed the popping is more in the back of the seat. Any clues?

Is there anyway to tighten things up to prevent this from doing it?

One day I will fix it, but for now I just sprayed it with WD40 and that has solved the squeaking. I was surprised that it worked.

Seems like it is the leather creaking against itself where the upper part meets the lower part. When it gets warm out I am going to take it all apart and see if I can fix it up.

I'm not over weight, just tall. 6' 2" I'm still trying to figure out what I can spray with WD40 to shut this thing up... Popping seems to come from the back of the seat. Squeaking comes from the bottom. Seems to wiggle up and down and back and fourth (a bit).
