Creaking dam dashboard 9n grrr

Post by craggles »

I believe this is common on the 9n,,it creaks like mad with egine vibration and dips in the road,,it seems to be coming from behind the top tray towards the window.

Question is has anyone solved it,,if so any tips?? i thought about taking the centre dash section out and seeing if there was any screws to tighten,,the only fix ive found so far is turning the radio up :D :D :D

Hehe,,I hope it does go away soon,,my dad owned the car before me and was doing it then,so all in all about 18 months.

I was thinking it might make it worse,,I must resist from taking it apart :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

I've been putting sealing cord into as many gaps between panels as I can find, as well as removing a few before sealing the edges and putting them back. Wouldn't want to take out the dashboard though..
