Since owning my civic since march, I have experienced my Passenger seat rattling in quite a high pitch...maybe a squeaky rattle would be better to explain. It isnt that loud but its loud enough to drive me mad after 10 minutes of it constantly doing it. When I first noticed it, I moved the seat back or forward a few inches and it would stop and over time it would gradually start again, but I would again just move the seat back or forward and it would be gone, it has only done it 2 or 3 times hence me not yet going to the dealers.

Today it started up again and I moved it to every position it would go, but it just wouldnt stop. While I was driving along I was pushing the back part of the seat towards the passenger door which stopped the noise. When I got home I held onto the base of the seat near the passenger door and moved it from side to side and I could hear the noise very faintly.

It seems like the sound is coming from underneath the passenger seat next to the door, I think at the front. Has anyone got any ideas of what I could try as I tried spraying some lube around it and that hasn't helped and I cant get to the dealer until next week.
