Does anyone else's passenger seat makes a grinding/whining sound when moving ? It's an on and off problem that is annoying the hell out of me !!!!!! Anyone knows how to fix it before I rip the damn seat out ??

 

No, but my passenger side has been making this nice plastic snapping/breaking sound when it get all the way forward. Not sure WTF that is and I didn't notice anything stuck under the seat.

 

 

This works better.....

 

Check it out to make sure nothing is stuck under the seat in the tracks...

WD-40 isn't that great as a lubricant. It's actually not that great as a penetrant either, but it does have its uses WD stands for Water Displacement... and it's great for keeping rust off things, but there are better lubricants out there...

 

I was being sarcastic. I haven't found much luck with using WD-40 in the past.

at KY picture.

 

i have the same problem but with the driver seat, i sprayed wd40 everywhere but that anoying noise is still there when moving the seat

 

Have you checked for a pen or something in the tracks? It might have gotten crushed up in there. I have that happen w/ a lighter once... did pretty much the same thing your discribing.

I notice an excess of noise during the colder months when activating the memory seating position - not sure that it's a problem at this point.

 

<<<<same noise after getting a new pass seat from dealer

 

Yeah, it happens especially when it's very cold outside. In the summer, the grinding goes away.... and another thing, my own seat squeaks when I run over big bumps, sounds like I'm driving a freaking rotten Buick Regal 1982 with springs under the seat ......pfffffffff

 

Passenger seatbelt recoil mechanism or driver lumbar mechanism? I sprayed the visible parts of the seatback hinge with white lithium grease, but it didn't make a difference. Sometimes the passenger seatback will rattle, but if you adjust the rake it stops.
Can you describe your noise better?

 

My seat makes the same noise an old spring bed would do when you sit on it. Kind of like an old spring being compressed. Happens when I run over heavy bumps (When a quick pressure is applied to the seat).

The passenger seats makes this loud weird noise when moving back and forth (when the whole base of the seat is moving, not just the backseat).

 

Might be time for the mechanics' stethoscope?
Pulling the seat out isn't that big of a deal if you have a clean place to set it down upside-down (and a helper). Then you can grease (not WD-40) most of the joints and wherever metal is rubbing. Randomly spraying from the underside may not be productive...

 

I would definately NOT use WD-40. The wet surface would make the tracks a magnet for dust, dirt, and carpet fiber build up. I'd go with lithium or silicon grease.

 

I heard that removing a seat with airbags in it was dangerous, even if you remove the battery. Did anyone of you ever removed their front seat ? I dont want the airbag to blow my head off during the install/uninstall

 

So is slimjim-ing a car with side airbags. X 2

 

I found out how to remove the seats, but I'm still worried about that explosion thing !

 

I think you'd be ok as long as you disconnect the harness. Not sure though, you'd better call Acura to make sure. Disclaimer: Lord Helmet will not be held responsible for your head getting knocked off by your airbags.
