squeaky BX2350 seat

[FullBucket]

The latches that hold the seat from folding forward seem to rub as they travel up and down causing considerable sqeaking. Anyone have a good solution for this? I've tried grease to no avail. Would like to cover latches with something smoother but haven't figured out the ideal solution yet. Help appreciated.

Fullbucket; I noticed that same problem on a friend's BX2350 and while greasing it for him(noise was driving me nuts)I thought about some sort of plastic edging.You know like that stuff you see on car doors,but a little thicker for your application.I did'nt think to measure the latch pieces at the time to get a better idea of what would work,but I'm sure you can figure that out. Good Luck. Bob.

Excellent solution actionaj! Thanks. Will have to find time to get this done in between other projects. Seat noise is pretty annoying. Hope Kubota is reading and will fix for future buyers. Regards
