Creaking Driver's seat
 
So now that I've sorted out the gummy button issue, I'm looking to tackle one other minor issue on my XK. It's an occasional creaky noise that I can consistently replicate if I shift around in the driver's seat but not in the passenger side. Anyone else run into this? I imagine there's just a bolt somewhere that needs tightening, but any suggestions on where to look first?

A buddy of mine has this problem with his shevvie truck. Of course my buddy is a quite a bit over 300 pounds, so that may be his problem... He has actually broken rivets and snapped bolts in the past.

Had this on my XK, it felt like the driver's seat rocked on the bottom just ever so slightly. No one could figure out what it was. Cogs on the seat drive was what I suspected...

I have the same issue on my 2010 XK. Found out the noise was coming from the "chicken wire" directly under the seat, it holds the foam of the seat in place. The noise is made when pressure is put on the seat in certain places. The wires slightly rub against each other. It has driven me insane! Going to try putting a small amount of lubricant on the wires to see if that works. But I think it probably won't work and I'll end up taking to an upholstery shop.
