RE: creaking seat

Had a problem with both front seats creaking / moving slightly under acceleration (drivers side was worse). Turned out on the drivers seat a bracket was broken (metal fatigue??) and the passenger seat just wasn't fastened down correctly.

You could check for both of these problems yourself.
