3rd Gen Backseat Squeak

I’ve had the most annoying squeaking sound coming from my back seat I’ve moved everything from back there to make sure there’s nothing rubbing but the squeak is still there anyone deal with this before?

 

Are you sure it's coming from inside the cab? Have you looked under the seats to see if the jack or something else is moving around creating the noise?

 

100% inside the cab I pulled out the jack and the squeak is still there I’m thinking it may be one of the latches but it’s interesting because I’ve pushed on the seat and there’s no squeak or anything but as soon as I start driving it comes back

 

Hmm, have you tried driving with the rear seats down? Could help narrow down what/where the squeak is coming from. Or putting a heavy item on one seat?

I'm dealing with a similar issue..a rattle/buzzing type noise..don't even know how to describe it. Just listing some things I've been trying as well.

 

My backseat squeaked about 2 years ago. I haven't seen her since.

 

Recently a socket got loose in the underseat cubby where the jack sits. It would roll around for days every time I hit the gas or brake, and it drove me into a gibbering rage because I couldn't find it. I tore out the seats, emptied all storage front and rear, took it around the block, and still, rattle.

After throwing a cartoonish temper tantrum in an empty parking lot, I opened the rear storage again and noticed that there is a fold in the side wall (facing the front pax seat) that things can hide under. And there too was my missing socket.


I'd check those underseat cubbys carefully. Empty them out, ride with the lid open, check that damn fold in the plastic. Their very design makes them annoying noise generators unless everything is strapped down in there.

 

Just tried it still squeaking :/ I’m going to take the seats out completely and try and pinpoint the squeak. I don’t think it’s the actual seat it’s self because even with the seats down there was an equal amount of squeaking

 

I've been down that road before...driving around with my door panels off trying to find noises, lol.

Good luck...let us know if you do find out what it is.

 

Haincha got a radio? Turn it up.

 

Try lubing the latches, and strikers. Also the hinges.

 

Found the culprit!! I have a soft bed cover that I usually keep rolled up and the rubber latches that hold it rolled up were rubbing on the rear glass And to think I almost took apart my whole back seat for this...

 

Been too long since my back seat sqeaked!!!

 

Are there latches for the back bottoms on a dbl cab sport upgrade?

I have the loops on the bottoms of the seat but nothing to grab them on the floor.

I was trying to adjust my back seat today and something is off. Where the seat cushions meet is is off and the short storage lid rubs the longer seat bottom when it is opening. The short seat bottom is proud of the long seat bottom, and the long seat bottom is higher than the short seat bottom. I have been trying to put washers as spacers between the hinge and seat or hinge and mounting to try and get things lined up. Maybe I should just take it back but I did that with a tire vibration and they took it for a test drive and said it was normal. Had the truck for about 2 months now. If anyone knows how to adjust the rear seat or if I am missing latches please advise.

 

The rear seat is not adjustable, you can fold the seat backs down or you can lift the seat bottoms up and fold the back down for a flat loading surface.

 

Get a hotel room... Seriously, check your tire jack

 

I kinda know the bottoms lift up and the backs pull down. The backs have a sort of latch if you push them back correctly. The bottoms do not seem to latch so either just the weight of them hold them down....or my truck is missing something. Again I was trying to adjust the hinges to try and get the bottom cushions to align better. 2 bolts on each hinge a 14mm and a 12mm but not a lot of adjustment available, thus the washers. I'll take a picture tomorrow unless someone knows a different way to adjust.
