sorry for the dup with the interior noise creaking issue, but I isolated it to the seat:

my right rear (longer one) seatback creaks when in the upright positon - on left hand turns and uneven pavement, like a upturned driveway.

It doesn't happen when the seat is folded down...

the dealer couldn't fix it.

has anyone had and fixed that problem?

well I can make it go away by keeping the seatback always down thereby converting the car into a three-seater :-)

try greasing the metal bar that the seat snaps into when you fold it up and the mount/bar/axis thingamajig that the seat back rotates on? Everything else is all padded, and I can't imagine it making noise from anywhere else
