Is it just me at 100 kilos or do other people have a regular squeak when driving from the seat rubbing on the console in their Levorg?
Subaru initially denied it was happening (the tech was a jockey), then they applied a leather conditioner, but it continues and is very annoying.
Anyone else had that and/or has a solution (besides losing a few kegs ;-)

I’m 6’2” an 110kg but I don’t have it. Sounds bloody annoying though.

I've also experienced squeaking noice around the console while driving. Never figured out exacly what makes the noice. Gonna check if it's the seat rubbing.

It's actually not the console rubbing - it's the seat itself at the hinge on the left side. I've gotten used to the speakers and dash squeaks and a thump usually fixes them!

Alright, that makes more sense for where I thought the squeak came from. I guess we just gotta live with it, not too anoying.

Levorg!
My seats sqeaked like an old bed...
Three times in the official workshop and the noise continued.
The fourth they found a broken spring in the back, welded it and the noise is over.

Sorry, i am not good at English.
One spring of the frame was broken.

The spring was welded and the noise fixed.
