Main3s Posted July 5, 2009 Report Share Posted July 5, 2009 Chances are if you mod you car or have had it a long time you get your fair share of squeaks and rattles from your dash when you drive, especially if it’s an older ride or you’ve had to take the dash off a few times. Well I’ve had this annoying issue for a while now and I’m glad to say that I’ve found a fix. It’s kind of… ummm… a back yard mechanic fix, but hell it works! Just take whatever is squeaking off the car in my case it was the center console. Since all it has are a few clips that snap into place you can’t really tighten anything up, so take some weather stripping and cut a few 1 inch strips and apply them between the clips. It’s nice because the stripping is already kind of tacky and sticks right to the dash parts but not too sticky so if you need to adjust the placement you can and don’t have to worry about scraping glue off your dash pieces. Once you have all your strips in place just reinstall your dash piece. The weather striping makes it tighter to put into place and it’s made of sponge/ foam material so you won’t get that annoying rattle or squeak. I did this last weekend and after a week of driving the car all the squeaks are gone. Like I said, it’s kind of hokey but you can’t argue success… can you? http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/cmaines01/100_1536.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/cmaines01/100_1535.jpg http://i49.photobucket.com/albums/f279/cmaines01/100_1538.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
