I have an 04 with around 48k miles on it, and my driver's seat has had a slight squeak for many thousands of miles. However, recently, it's gotten noticably worse. I've lubed the seat rails with Jigaloo Spray and that didn't help. Has anyone else had this problem and found a good fix for it? I don't want to go to the dealer for this because it's a pain and I'm also not even sure if I'm within warranty anymore.

Thanks!

they'll goodwill it anyway.

my dealer says that all TSX's from 04-08 have had this problem.
my car had it.

they have to take the seat off and grind something, then put it
back together.

he said it was the most common problem by far he knew of with the car.

Wow, that's good to know. I'll have to get off my rear and get to the dealership then. Thanks.

I think I've fixed this myself...

I moved the seat all the way forwards, then popped off the plastic covers covering the bolts on the rear of the seat rails. These are 9/16" bolts for some reason. That was the only socket in my set which fit them. I loosened each bolt and moved the rails as far apart as possible (there is some play to the rails in their mounting space). So, left rail towards the outside of the car, right rail towards the center. I tightened the bolts down again afterwards.

Squeak seems to be gone...

Update: Just got back from a drive around town. The squeak does indeed appear to be gone.
