squeeky drivers seat how to remove the seat to find cause

[pmatil]

!! I thought I was crazy as the squeak seemed to come from the seat belt buckle. Is it OK to grease it, as there is the "seatbelt on" sensor inside? Or is the retaining bolt the one to grease? Or maybe tighten the bolt?

I knocked the passenger belt "receiver" yestday, bleeding seat belt alarm wouldnt stop going
Stopped the car and put the passenger belt in and out a couple times and all was OK
Seems the seat belt receiver area is a bit of a problem on DS3s, squeaks included
Interested to see the latest versions and if the problem has gone

How do you get to the back (I assume) that holds the seat beat anchor bar at the back, have been getting squeaking noises and while trying to find it found that the back end of this bar was lose. Think the nut holding it in is lose.

Does the door trim need removing?

There is only the one mount bolt the back end just slides into a hole.

When you put it back together do you ever have more parts left over? lol ;-)

Maybe you could help with my drivers seat problem. The recliner handle seems jammed and the seat will not recline at all, I can get the seat to move to gain access to the rear seats but I have to raise the handle on the seat edge really high then it will move forward and slide on the runners but when putting back up can hear like a ratchet noise. I'd appreciate any help on this matter. Thank-you.

Sounds to me that the seat is stuck is "access" mode where someone has tried to get in the back using the wrong handle.

Try using the handle at the top of the seat and tilt the seat backwards and forwards to reset the memory position as well as sliding the seat all the way forwards and then back again. See if that releases the lower recliner handle for you.

I seem to have a clicking noise that emanates from the rear seats/boot area when I change gear, don't think its driver seat related though...

Predator in the back seat?

Maybe but if in stealth mode, who would know?

The noise is the only giveaway...
