squeaking leather
 
Does anyone else experience 'leather squeak' in their cars? I've been on a mission finding and attempting to eliminate all squeaks and rattles.

Any suggestions on eliminating leather squeak caused by rubbing against plastic interior pieces? Where possible I've used some anti-squeak tape but that's not an option everywhere.

I cannot say I have noticed leather squeak, I do have an intermittent rattle just above my head in the drivers position behind the headline that is probably distracting me....:mad:

Could possibly be due to dried out, not taken care of leather I have in mine :Confused:

Bolt missing form pillar trim, or broken/missing clip? I've also noticed few noises coming from sunroof switch area.

I have tried it, but it dries out too quickly if it makes sense.

I have used lord Sheraton leather Balsam.... I used to use it on my leather sofa....

Makes the leather soft and slightly aromatic, killed the smell of fousty water at the time..

Mine has this issue with the centre arm rests rubbing on the seats. I use Woolies stuff - cleaner, restoration cream (colour specific) and sealant - which sorts it.
