Passenger Seat Screws Loose

[rdfcpete]

After some rattles were discovered on the passenger seat housing, I've decided to have a go at tightening all the screws on show underneath the seat.

Which screwdriver(s) or sockets will I need for the exposed screws or bolts? They didn't look like T-20 jobbies although I couldn't get to see them properly as they're right underneath, at an adverse angle.

Is there anything under there I can tighten? There must be something loose as I've established that's whats squeaking.
I'm pretty sure after diagnosis that it's not the seat struts themselves, i.e. the Hex screws.

Thanks.

Maybe I should simplify this one as the OP might not have been clear  - Apologies.
In essence, my passenger seat is a little squeaky. Are there any screws on it anywhere underneath the seat that I can have a look at tightening and if so, which tools will I need?

I've had an upside down look and there's some on show, I just couldn't really get in between the gaps to see what they were.

Thanks for any pointers on bit of vague question

Can any of the exposed screws be tightened at all?
Something or several items are loose so if it's not those on show, what else could it be?

I'm a real DIY noddy so any pointers on tools and what I can attack would be appreciated chaps - Thanks.

Youve got the 4 main bolts that hold the seat down but I cant see them causing the squeak, their a T10 spline bit from memory I think.

Apart from that it could be the plastic cowling around the base of the seat but not sure how thats fixed, Iv never really looked! Probably just clipped on.

Sorry I havnt been much help!

Thanks Apollo ^^ 

I've not touched this yet, mainly cause I really have no strategy or know which tools I'll need.
I've given the plastic surrounds of the lower part of the seat a good fist nudge but it's a metal or more heavy duty sounding components that appears to be loose.

Where's the best place to start?
I know you can take the whole seat out all together, is that probably wise here?

This is still an issue unfortunately. Are there any springs that I can access to grease or oil? The sound now is very like a low pitch mouse squeak or old spring being coiled sound.

I just want to attack something on the passenger seat so I can at least feel like im making progress 
Cheers.

I have exactly the same problem but it seems to be coming from my drivers seat.  I'm going to take a look this weekend and I'll let you know how I get on.

Nice one mate ^ 

To be honest I can't understand what would make that noises unless it's the rollers/seat tracks themselves, but I wouldn't know where to start to stop them from squeaking - perhaps you can't?

There's always a small chance it's the fascia that's loose that I removed to replace my pollen filter, in the passenger footwell?
