Default '13 XJL SC - Squeaky Driver Seat?

Has anyone had any problems with the driver seat in the XJL squeaking every time you shift your weight or move just a little? I can't seem to find the source, and it's driving me nuts! Just curious if anyone else has had that problem before I call the dealership and setup a service appointment. Maybe it's something minor that I can tweak/fix, but it seriously has me stumped!

Thanks!

Nope, I haven't encountered this one. Have you checked that everything else on the seat is working, such as all the seat adjustment controls, massage, heating and cooling? Makes me wonder if there is a part come loose which would affect the workings of other aspects of the seat.

Finally figured it out...thanks to a service call to my friendly Jaguar dealership. There is a plastic cover that goes around the seat sliding mechanism that came lose. Every time you would move around in the seat just a little, it would rub up against the loose plastic piece and create the "squeaky" noise. Once he fixed that, bye, bye noise.
