Help with squeaky pedals

Help please!
You may remember a few weeks ago when I asked for any help replacing the rubber grommets at the base of the pedals on a Horugel Grand.
I was given some very good advice as to how to do this. The squeak (caused by the deteriorate rubber grommets) disappeared when I replaced them with buckskin.
The pastors wife was happy with those results for a couple weeks and then the squeak returned. 
I spoke with her tonight and scheduled a service call for this Sat. 7-8-06
I am at a loss on this one.
The squeak comes and goes. On more than one occasion when she called me to have this fixed, I arrived at the church only to find that there was no squeak. 
As I do not doubt a clients word (my goal is to satisfy all clients) I am extremely puzzled regarding this one.
When I was there last, I went ahead and  replaced some of the other "soon to wear out" pieces of buckskin in the trap workings. 
I glued them in place with CA glue. (buckskin to wood). Did I use the wrong glue perhaps?
I certainly can't charge for this as the problem is not being resolved. I am looking incompetent!
Can you help???
Any tips/suggestions welcome
Thanks in advance

Mark
