I have NOS plastic seat runners, but they aren't cheap. I reuse the 
old ones if at all possible, since they work quite well even if they 
are broken. The secret is to straighten the runners before you put 
the seat back in, and don't bend the runners in the process. Use a 
straightedge to check the rails.

As for the door squeak, have you tried some grease on the door check 
strap? Otherwise, persistence in oiling the hinges is necessary.
