Default Squeaking fixed by duct tape.

OK... just posting this if you guys may be experiencing the same.

When I drive, I'd here a metal to metal squeaking sound coming from my back seats. It got pretty annoying so I decided to investigate and found out what it was.

Basically, the hook and bar that locks the rear seats into place (they fold down of course) was scraping when I'd hit a bump and would give the squeak.

All I did was take some duct tape and wrapped it around the bar that holds the seat. This prevents the squeaking as the metal is now against duct tape.

Gotta love duct tape.
