Hey guys,

I've noticed that the rear drivers seat squeaks.

Its the shoulder of the seat rubbing against the wall of the car - make sense? :)

This is also an incovnience when I have the ladies in the back seat, and I haven't got the "..its the leather", excuse to fall back on. :woot::)

I'm thinking it may be a tad loose, but then again I'm ripping it against the wall to see what's behind it.

Is there anyway to release/re-tighten the rear seats?

The rear seat shouldn't press against the side too much. Most of the time they are....this is because the big plastic cover with the built in arm rest is loose. The press in clips that are on the back of the cover pop out of the metal holes in the car shell. This is one area nissan stuffed up, the holes are just a little bit too big. You can try pressing the cover back on, but it will likely only pop off again. I tried several different methods of making the hole in the metal smaller and/or making the plastic clip that goes in the hole bigger. The only thing that has worked so far is to use a drill and pop rivets on the edge of the hole thus making the hole smaller. This means that the plastic clip at the back of the cover fits in a lot tighter and won't pop off.

Personally I prefer a tight fit, but I am also keen to pop off......then again I am not a cover.

PS If any of you 'gun' metal workers out there know of a better method of fixing this, let us all know.
