Nearing the end of the "getting her up to spec" project. So now getting ultra picky.
I can sometimes hear a very, very slight creak like noise as you lean back. As though a rusty spring was creaking where it is secured.
Only noticeable when your right shoulder blade, presses back into the seat, as say if you settle into the seat. Doesnt happen as you drive along.
Its so minor its inaudible if say the radio is even on quietly, or your are driving, or the windows are open. Its so minor I wouldnt do it unless it gets worse.
Q. Is it easy to take the back off the drivers seat?
... Thinking I might spray some silicone spray on any springs I can see in there?
Sometimes things like this can be simply cured especially if caught before any wear has set in.
Or is this a nightmare seat out job ?
I saw this video ... OK its a W221 but some things are similar
Hmmm I didn't see any obvious springs .
