WD40 in the right area should do the job.

I haven't had squeaks on my Cobalt seats, but it depends on what's squeaking. If it's metal to metal or metal to plastic, I'd use a light coat of grease. If it's fabric (vinyl) squeaking, I'd either try some vinyl protectant or learn to live with it.

It is metal to metal coming from the pedestal. I sprayed some silicone in there. Helped a little, but it is still very annoying.
