Default Backrest on front seats really noisy, anything I can do??

I have a 07 classic CC with cloth seats, the backrests are so freaking noisy on my front seats. they squeak constently, getting in or out, speeding up or stopping.

Is there anything I can do to get it to stop with out replacing them?
I'll take them apart and lube everything if that will help.

There's probably some wear on the bushings that marry the seat back to the seat cushion that's allowing slop and movement. About the only thing you can try is to put some lithium grease on the bushings.

I had a "squeak" in mine awhile back that was fixed under warranty but has since returned ...... They told me it was a spring that had come loose
