First, make sure that it is the seats that are squeaking: sometimes the seat belt buckle mount squeaks. Moreover, the creaking may come from both the driver's and passenger's locks. Try pressing the lock with your hand when it creaks (be careful, watch the road!) - if there is a problem with it, it will be revealed immediately. It is easy to fix - spray any silicone grease both on the lock fastenings and in the belt lock itself (yes, yes!). If the squeak resumes, unscrew the lock fastening nut (see here) and place a thick washer underneath it. The creaking from this place will disappear forever.
The most likely places where Largus seats squeak:
- where the cushion springs attach to the bracket on the seat frame.
- in the sleds
- in places where springs or a metal frame with foam rub against each other
- side seat rivets
The first and easiest thing to try is silicone spray lubricant. Do not use lubricants with a strong smell. Spray the area where the cushion springs engage with the metal seat frame.
If you find that the sound comes from the friction of the foam rubber, then also use silicone lubricant.
Lubricate the seat runners with solid lubricant (for example lithol).
For a more radical solution remove the seat and place pieces of rubber under the spring hooks.
Try to ensure that the width of the material being placed under it covers the entire width of the bracket to which the spring is attached.
There are similar solutions, when springs are removed and various tubes, cambrics are put on them, they are wrapped with electrical tape, scotch tape. But these methods do not give a long-term effect and are more labor-intensive.
A piece of hose placed on a previously removed spring also solves the creaking problem.
Another reason is two rivets that are located on the side of the seat, one closer to the seat belt buckle, the other closer to the front of the seat.

The rivets are also treated with silicone grease, after which the creaking from them completely disappears.
When getting rid of the "crickets", do not rush to immediately remove and disassemble the seat; follow the path - from simple to complex.
