As the title indicates, my stock Pete seats in a 2000 379 are squealing like a stuck pig. I've tried WD-40, Aerokroil, white lithium spray and the first attempt was graphite powder. Nothing lasts longer than 3 or 4 days and the squeak is back. Anyone have a suggestion that won't make a huge mess/smell but shut these darn things up???

National Seats have(or used to have) a grease fitting in the middle of every pivot joint. Fill it till you see grease coming out.
But a 15 year old seat is probably due to be replaced. -
I tried everything from soaking them in oil and greasing them to pressure washing the assembly. He will prob find out like i did.... one of those pivot tubes cracks and starts moving .. You are right 15 years is way overdue. Even a new seat can get screwed up with the squeaks if a Big boy keeps reaching for stuff in the sleeper with the arm rest down. Once the pivots get bent , cracked or wore... nothing stops the mind numbing sounds. I feel his pain... Have the shop trade seats from the passenger side.
