I have the most irritating squeak coming from my drivers seat. It sounds like it is coming from somewhere in the seat back not base. How do I remove the hard shell back to the drivers seat to locate the source and try and fix?
 
I have a seat back that continually falls off, so hope that this helps you remove yours. Down at the base ( just under the seat back) are two push lock fasteners that push up vertically to lock. At either side of the seat back (about 2/3rds up from memory) located on its front face and therefore hidden from view, are two unusual shaped clips that lock inside the rear of the actual seat. My guess is its these squeaking. As I have never had to pull them out (bloody thing falls off after a few hours of driving) I am not sure just how these clips release. If you struggle to release them let me know and I will take a couple of photos. Good luck
 
I had an annoying clonking/squeak noise from my drivers seat and it ended up being one of the floor mounting bolts was slight loose... Nice easy fix!

Never taken the back off so I'm unsure... But this diagram might help?

I think it's the backrest as when I lean forward the squeak disappears. It's driving me mad, managed to get rid of one rattle (broken bonnet bump stop) and another appears!
