Unhappy Rear Interior Squeaking

Has anyone heard a squeak coming from the seats behind the drivers side? I have a 2001 Lariat with leather. It developed the squeak (sounds like loose seats rubbing against the cab ... no metal sound) at about 600 miles. It has 1025 miles now and you can't believe how loud it has become! One of my grandkids weighs in at about 50 pounds and when she sits back there it goes away, but I really don't want to drive around with her or a sandbag all the time.

I'd really appreciate any tips or hints on this.

Take a look at the seatbelt mount behind your head on the left, I noticed mine started squeaking when i would move or go around a corner when the shoulder belt would move. I removed the cover and lubed, no more squeak.

Thumbs down Rear Interior Squeaking

Didn't cure the problem. It sounds like leather squeaking when you move around on it, but only when no one is back there. I'm thinking it might be just a real tight fit on the seats. Thanks for the tip though. I'll try anything! It's even louder now.
