Any one else have sounds coming from what appears to be the hard seatback?
It is pretty prevalent on mine. We have had it for about a month or two. I think it was
11/24/22 production week.

Contemplating taking it in to service but I am not sure what to say other than that
I do not feel like a $78000 car should be squeaking this much lol

YES, mine squeaks so bad. I wonder if prior years have the same issues.

It's the seat belt, move it a bit and it stops. I pulled it out and kind of hooked it around one of the bolsters. I guess I could also buckle it. Took me a while to figure it out but for me at least it's a seat belt and moving it fixes it.

I believe there is a solution in the works to fix this. It is the headrest/shoulder bolsters backing material that causes the squeaking.

21 GTPE. Zero seat squeaks.

Size/weight of the humans involved may be a differentiating factor.

definitely is not the seat belts
we have tried some vastly different size folks and it still does it
seems to be from the high part of the seat back plastic / material

Mine is pretty ridiculous, I had a 2022 Premium that I absolutely loved, and I love the rest of my GTPE, but the seat creaks definitely aren’t improving.

Went to the dealer today to pick up my plates and the salesman said “it’s not a Porsche” ?. I think he would have said that if the steering wheel was missing too.
