Squeakin!

Anyone else have a squeaky dashborad?! Its driving me nuts, pretty much only on the drivers side at the top. i think its the window rubbers it rubs on. Any ideas how to solve it?

Cheers

Mine squeeks like a bandit also. I have looked into the problem and it mostly seems to be down to the lower dash mounting bolt/bracket to the lower a-post…although when I got it sorted, I'm down to about 3 mice and not the previous 30 squeeking away.

I've got some anti-squeek tape to solve this when I get the dash out. You can get them in little pads or as a tape on a role - car manufacturers use them all the time.

Hope this helps.

On nearly every dash i've taken out the two brackets holding the instrument cluster have come loose - particularly the screws that go into the top of the dash - they work loose and drop out.

Also many people dont seem to put all the screws back one they have a dash or under trays out  :wink:

I had the dash out of mine not so long ago, and when i put it back placed foam between the dash and every other surface it came in contact with, and it quitened it down a lot. Quite difficult to do though.
