Default Squeak, squeak, squeak

I have a very annoying squeak coming from my passenger side rear seat (4 door). It is the latch rubbing on the pin. Has anybody else battled this and if so has anybody found a fix for it. I try to ignore it but I just can't. Help me please.

I had an annoying squeal coming from my rear seat for awhile, but it went away once the kids got older and learned to enjoy the ride...

Sorry.

Anyway, try some light grease on the latch.

Is it a squeak when someones in it? When you hit bumps? Is it coming from the seat or just that area?

HaHa, thats funny. I remember those days, long gone now one is 18 the other is 21. So they dont ride with us much anymore. Tried the grease no good.

Murder¹, only when seat is empty, I have thought of putting the seat down but really dont want it that way all the time. Yes it is coming from the latch pin area, I have found that out as I have used tape on it but it ends up wearing thru and then starts in again.
