You have my undivided attention.

I have _exactly_ the same problem in my ur-quattro - except that for me the 
right seat is the driver's seat and there's _always_ someone sitting in it.
 
I plan to start the investigation this weekend.  I've been told that there is a 
weak weld in the seat frame that cracks and thus causes the squeaking.
