Squeaky second/third row seats

[Disco Marathon]

I recall folks posting about squeaky second/third row seats. That started happening a few weeks ago for me and has been consistent ever since. I'm aware that a potential source is the seatbelt buckle stem rubbing against the metal stop behind it (there's a video about this on YouTube), so I've wrapped all of the stems in a thin piece of weatherstripping. That didn't solve the problem, so it must be something else. Has Lucid fixed this issue for anyone and if so what did they do? Here's a video with very clear audio of the squeak:

This has been a thorn in my side ever since taking delivery of the Gravity. Mine is in the Service Center right now for a THIRD time to solve the issue. First time they "fixed it" and within 5 mins of leaving the Service Center it came back. Second time they couldn't reproduce because I stupidly moved the seat a few days before taking it in and the squeak stopped. The 3rd time they literally sent someone out to my house to verify they could hear it before they would even take it back to look at. The technician verified they heard it so the car is back in again. 12 days at the Beverly Hills Service Center and it's still being worked on

At this point, I don't know if they've really identified the source of the problem and are just doing patch work to try and stop it.

Mine was the bottom seat cushion latch. I put some silicon grease on it and it's silent as can be.

Thread 'Easy Fix for Second Row Seat Squeak'

Jan 30, 2026

The second row in my 7-passenger Gravity started squeaking incessantly in the past week. The start of it coincided with me needing to put both seats down to carry some stuff. So logically it seemed like it is related to the latching mechanism of the seats.

There are hooks and loops of steel on the bottom seat cushions themselves and the latching mechanisms on the seat base. I put some silicone grease on the mating surfaces and the car is now as quiet as it was in the past. It looks like the paint on of the loops had chipped off, which was probably the source of most of the noise...
