Title: Squeaky rear headrest - help please
Post by: AndyED30 on April 11, 2013, 03:08:13 pm

Every time I go over a bump/pothole/crack etc, which let's face it in the UK at the moment is every five seconds, one of the rear headrests squeaks at me.

I've identified which one and was planning on tackling it asap but does anyone have any pointers on this?

Cheers, Andy.

Thanks but tried that and unfortunately no joy. Bit of wd40 is needed I think!

Top man for identifying the headrest :happy2:

The last couple of days I have also had a squeak coming from the rear, have looked at most things but not the headrest.Squeaky is really driving me mad...
