annoying squeak from '98 V70

I recently bought a '98 V70 and just noticed this annoying squeak when I go over bumps. It sounds like it is coming from the back seat. Is this something I have to live with or is there something wrong here?

Most 850 wagons ('98 V70 is essentially the same) eventually have a tendency to "chirp" from the right rear seatback latch. I tried greasing just the latch contact points but that never got rid of it completely. Finally took someones advice on the boards and got a spray can of white silicone grease and sprayed some up in the latch mechanism. That nailed it.
