I have a wintec endurance saddle I love it but the stirrup leathers are squeaking against the patch at the bottom of the saddle and driving me nuts. Does anyone have suggestions to make it stop please?

Shiny surfaces squeak. This may not help you but I take my own leathers with me when I ride (plus my safety stirrups ) and put them on any horse I hack. My leathers have never squeaked. But they are not shiny.
I clean my leathers with Effax Leder Balsam. The leathers are Amerigo and very soft. I take off the irons and keep the leathers hanging up behind the cellar door, so the leather remain straight and soft. They are almost 20 years old but they do not shine.

Ah the saddle is very shiny as are the leathers, I'll try some balm on them thank you

What leathers are you using? I would suggest Wintec Pro Webbers with that saddle. Or the other synthetic stirrups straps that Wintec do.
