Squeaky Bucket

Still trying to determine the exact location of the issue but I am experiencing an incessant squeaking noise coming from the drivers seat while the vehicle is moving. Absolutely non-stop and quite loud. Ever little bump, every little turn, it squeaks. I’ve tried researching and making various adjustments to the seat but to no avail. Aside from unbolting the entire thing and reassembling I guess I can take it into the shop.

Thought I’d see if anyone else here has experienced?

My passenger seat squeaks if nobody is sitting in it.
It’s caused by the slider that goes in the track. I shot it with some lubricant, and that helped, but it’s really hard to do with making a mess.

Good morning! Would you please send over a private message with your VIN and the name and location of your preferred Ford dealer so I can look into this seat squeak concern on my end? Thank you!

Hi there! If you can send us a private message with your VIN and preferred dealership information, I can look into this for you.

Turns out it isn't the seat making the noise, just sounds like it from inside the cabin. It's a consistent creaking noise coming from under the vehicle, right around where one of the main body bolts are, and up through the floor board. Started getting a bit worse. Vehicle is with my dealership now, so we'll see what they come back with.

Unfortunately, I've also been experiencing a leak with my passenger side hardtop panel. I haven't really heard of any issues with the hardtops lately so I was surprised at this one. Any time it rains I end up with a puddle on the passenger seat floor (first win for the washout floors), and water down the inside of the A pillar that drips out around the vent and down the side of the dash. I tried resetting the panel but nothing. Bad part of the seal, I suppose.

FMC has kept in close touch and my dealer (Klaben) continues to be absolutely awesome to work with. Both fixes should be fairly quick and simple.

Will do. Thank you - they honestly look so good in person. So happy with how the wheels/tires came out. No, decided to hang on to my reward points for now. Actually, that reminds me - I should have some more coming from service that I need to follow up with Ford on.
