Question:

The springs underneath the cushions on the bucket seats of my 1996 Explorer XLT (cloth covering not leather) squeak occasionally and annoyingly.  Have never gotten them wet or anything.  They are totally Scotchgarded.  Any suggestions on a solution?  Thanks. Dorkdorf

We had a problem with our passenger seat (1995 Explorer XLT) popping and squeaking.  The dealership installed a new spring kit (under warranty) and everything is fine now.

I have the same problem from time to time.  The seats in my 94 Exp.XLT have a air pump in the bottom and also for the back to adjust the firmness of the seat.  I tend to perfer a rather firm car seat.  If the seat is not firm, it sqeaks. Hope this helps.

<have a air pump in the bottom and also for the back> Respite, I’ll try firming up the seat bottom with that "thighsqueezer" thingamajig.  I see the point of the lumbar support pump-up, but have never really used the lower one since I could never figure out the point or are my thighs so incredibly fat that I just don’t get it?
