Started to notice squeaking noises when I would move around in the driver's seat. I have the leather seats and found the noise was coming from right above the seat controls where the leather meets the plastic cover for the controls. The plastic appeared too tight and the leather would squeak when moving against it, they had to install a piece of felt between the leather and plastic piece to stop the noise. That looks just great now, thanks Nissan.
