th bottom hinges basically just spray in between the seat and in both ends of the seats. there is a very small gap and just roughly where you thinks its in the middle... and play with the seat back and forth then... it should go away...

I had the same symptom, no noise with passengers (presumably due to the weight pressure on the to release hatch). I tried a few lubricant sprays I had laying around and none worked. I went about as caveman as you could go. Took a small piece of thick cardboard and wrapped around the latch 'bolt' then slammed the seat back into place. WALA ! no noise.......

Check the bottom of the seats ... That hold the section that opens , it's connected in both sides of the seat and in the middle with one another. Spray wd40 there , too. I did the top brackets then the noise came back. The figgured it was the bottom section .
