Hey Guys,

My FJ has like a squeak that comes from somewhere in the back seat, it does it on and off a lot, it seems to get worse when its really cold or it rains!
The dealer said they can't find it, its probably normal for a off-road vehicle, but I dont think so!

ANYONE HAVE ANY SUGGESTIONS?

THANK YOU GUYS!

Well, I've pin-pointed that it is coming from the back seat, because everytime i put the back seat down and slam it back up, it stops for like a day, then it comes right back the next day! But the dealer said they don't see anything wrong with it!

I also had a similar problem as soon as I got the thing with the glove box up on the dash, and they never found what was wrong with it so I have a bunch of towels stuffed in there so it keeps it tight!

I don't know what is wrong with my truck, but I'm starting to regret that I chose the FJ over the H3, I trusted Toyota's quality reputation, but apparently, even they lack on the craftmenship of some things!

THANK YOU!

hey dude,

I had the same problem and it drove me nuts, until I threw some lubricating grease on the metal part where the back seat latches on and also put some on the back door's shock absorber, complestely filled it up where the yellow plastic locking mechanism meets the black metal tube.

this should do it!
