Groaning noise when moving seat backwards

Any idea what may cause this? Moving the seat foward, no problem no weird noises, but when moving it back it groans like an 88 year-old with arthritic hips.

It's probably too far back, pushing against the divider or whatever you want to call it.

Mine does it also. I'm convinced its a result of debris on the seat rail.

It's the seat's way of telling you that you have to lose weight!

Re: Groaning noise when moving seat backwards

Mine does it too. It is not too far back, it is not hitting anything and it is not a weight problem since it happens even with a 100lb driver. I'm guessing that the rails need grease. I will look in to it and let you all know.
