CT4-V Bucket Seat Creaking

[joe99(]

Hello, new to the forum, recently purchased a 2023 CT4-V Blackwing Sebring Edition! I was wondering if anyone had a fix/solution for the bucket seat creaking? I've seen some people mention that theirs creak too, but from the carbon fiber shell. I think, at least for me, it seems to be coming only the plastic racing harness pass throughs next to the head rest.

My driver seat creaks a lot - way more than my passenger seat. Unfortunately, there is some note in the diagnostic system that says these are supposed to creak. So I tried three dealerships and they said "it creaks but that is normal. Sorry, chief".

I complained to Cadillac and went back and forth for months (hence the visits to multiple dealerships). They eventually told me they would give me $1000 in Cadillac money and a extra year of warranty. I had asked them to just put the alcantara backs on the car. $1000 is better than nothing, I thought. They eventually gave me the points but then backed out of the warranty extension two weeks later because they said it was not a legitimate problem with the car.

I wrote Mary Barra and just got sent to the same Cadillac customer service people who called and told me it take it to dealership again. I haven't even bothered with that. Dealership in town is useless, in general, and will certainly do nothing different on a fourth visit.

I got some of this gap filler (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BWHJ3MHB?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_1&th=1) and put it in the gaps between the plastics and carbon fiber. It might help a little. Tried some kind of powder spray too but that did nothing.

Mine has the alcantara backs, and it recently started squeaking also. On mine in the very little effort into investigating I have done so far it's the plastic pieces a harness would go through that makes the noise.
