I have the exact same issue with my drivers seat in my G6E. What I did to fix it was put it to the very bottom setting and then raised it just a smidge which got rid of the squeaking. Although, if I do put it to the bottom setting it will squeak again.

I had the same seat issue ended up pulling it out and welding all the seat frame as some areas split so just easier to weld it all and fixed it no issues
if scratches and chips are your biggest issue.............then dont drive it on the road.
