Just make sure you can reproduce it. I tried that in my Max and they told me they couldnt recreate it, and neither could i at the time.

my seat has started becoming very noisey. what sucks is I had a spare perfect seat frame but gave it to someone else local that needed it because mine was fine then
fx seats are so heavy too. need another solution here, I wouldn't mind even manual tracks if it saved almost 100lb's between the 2 fronts & eliminated the sqeaky crap too, hmmm, I've been thinking about this but only solution I can come up with is a custom seat frame to be able to keep the same upholstery & seat shape, not too easy to do & still maintain some adjustability...

with cars? maybe theres not too much I can't do if I really wanted to do it I guess, everything else I probably suck at though
there is no easy solution to the creaking seat...
I'm seriously considering setting the seat in place, removing it & welding it up, then cut all the motorization & track work out, make the seat solid & light in just one position. only easy solution, probably remove ~40lbs per seat I think, they are extremely heavy, but would probably bug me too that there not adjustable, that's where it'd get a little complicated, cause then the weight starts to go back up again as adjustably is added back in, is all the crazy work to build custom manual adjustable seat tracks worth it to only save I'm guessing 20-24lbs per seat? maybe?...
a complete seat swap is the next logical alternative & probably the real best solution, but then your talking maybe a complete custom interior to get it to tie in right depending on what you choose as a seat. would be awesome to be able to match the upholstery though & just have to reupholster the 2 front seats to match the rest of the interior., I've found close but not a perfect match to the brick leather... gotta still match the rear seat too... that's probably the ultimate solution though, new lighter buckets, but to do it right would be quite a few $,$$$'s, maybe something to add to the wish list for next winter
see some guys think shoot a little wd40 in there or just live with it or??? but these are the things I think of, sorry man, can't help it but yeah, if your under warentee then bring it to infiniti

squeaks
My driver's seat squeaks when going around turns. It's not the bolts at the bottom that are squeaking, it is the side of the seat (the leather) rubbing up against the side of the car. It is really annoying. The seat is extremely close to the side of the car.

If you have the warranty, try to take it in. I had the same issue and they changed the seat rails under warranty.
On a side note, my passenger side seat belt connector (the piece you plug the belt into) rubs the seat and makes a squeaking when someone is sitting over there. Simple solution was to move the seat belt connector forward and the noise was gone.

Noodlelegs, I've got the same issue. You have the seat all the way back on the track. As you said, it rubs against the pillar. I've been trying to determine a fix, but the seat is just too close. If you come up with something (save for moving the seat closer to the steering wheel) let me know. It's pretty annoying actually on a $45k car.

Seat movement/rocking
There is a TSB on this issue. I recently took mine in and there is a bushing/part thay replaced. Now it is tight and quiet. No charge.

There's also this DIY that could possibly fix this.
http://g35driver.com/forums/body-in...iy/147489-diy-possible-creaking-seat-fix.html
I want to try this but how do we remove our driver's seat lower plastic trim pieces? Is it necessary to remove the trim pieces to get to these bolts?

They have screws, under little plastic covers, attaching the trim pieces to the seat frame. Be careful prying the screw covers off though, the tabs are fragile.
