Squeaky rear seats
Anyone with noisy/ squeaky rear seats. seems like the leather between the seats or arm rest is rubbing against each other while the car is moving/from vibration.
Thinking of ..putting baby powder to reduce friction, .. tightening seat mounting bolts.. setting the rear seats on fire.

Perhaps this is caused by some treatment you are using on the leather? Leather, real or faux, should be clean and feel dry and silky to the touch. Dry leather rubbing against dry leather should not squeak. The pieces that are in contact and squeaking are likely vInyl and may have some film of oils. Vinyl out-gasses in the heat and may leave a film on the vinyl. (and your windows)
I'd approach this issue with a deep cleaning and wipe dry. See if the squeak disappears. If you use leather treatment products, try using only water-based products. Avoid oily conditioners. If the squeak continues, I'd use a dry teflon lube sparingly. Test whatever products you choose to use in an inconspicuous area first.
