Just wanted to update to say that with the last "wedging of the plastic part touching the metal beam", problem gone for good.

Yeah I've found that there is two things making the noise. First is that plastic part that loops around the metal beam. I wedged it with foam that I inserted from the other side. second part is this plastic bump that touches the metal beam also : I wedged it with felt... For now, noise is gone.

What I've done yesterday wasn't enough, but I was able to pin-point the source of the noise. It comes from that little plastic part that I hold im my fingers in the photo bellow. That part has a plastic loop that goes around the plastic cap at right, and over the metal beam there. When cold...

Ok, this morning I got tired of that squeaky noise problem and wasting my time with the dealership so I decided to tackle the problem myself. I backed the Chevelle up out of her sleep in the heated garage and into the cold. Followed the proper procedure to remove the seat from the truck and...

seat changed.... and guess what's back this morning... http://youtu.be/CWRXE6KMPiE

They changed the seat in mine too, after trying a Quick fix. Sqweek gone.

Yep same here with outside temp, and when it's cold, when the cabin gets warmer and seats heats up, it stops. I'll have to call back the dealer to make them correct that once and for all...

Did you had any chances to resolving this issue? My new 2015 4Runner does that sound and it's been for 9 days at the dealership now with no resolution.. Shop manager sais he can't order a new seat as they are not listed in the part catalog (need to order it as 250 separate parts, not sure if...

With the scammers here it's pretty simple : They ask for a deposit ! :P I let you guess what happens next.. ehe

We have the same kind of trap-posting here on other sites, ex: 2005 bmw m3 conv. for 12k, etc... But it's easier to detect the spam here, "owner" claims to be in Montreal but the pics used always seems to have been taken in Florida (with palm trees ... that we don't have in Canada...) If you...

I miss my manual badly... with the Automatic Impreza 2.5 2009 I got from the body shop :( I'm getting almost the same MPG as my 4R !! :|

good news, they'll repair the truck. But the value of the front bumper is not high enought for me to change for a Shrockworks.. so it'll be restored as original. There is an estimated 4500$CAD worth of damages on the truck :|

Deja veux ? Deja deux ? Deja vu ?

Thanks for the suggestions but the budget is limited for customisation :P and since I have 1 good quarter, one good hood, one good headlight, that TacoCOnversion would be costly :P I'm still waiting the decision of the insurance company... I'll call tomorrow... it's long !
