Sqeek noises from dash and door cards

Post by badbox » Wed Nov 30, 2016 11:37 pm

Anyone had any squeaky sounds coming out near where the dashboard meets the door cards, and if so how to fix?

Ive just purchased 2009 3.5i in mint condition totally well looked after and unamused car however theres a few too many squeaky sounds from dash and some places from the rear....any suggestions

I would try placing a felt strip so it's sandwiched between the two, place it where it's not seen :?

There's a myriad of potential noise makers, look elsewhere on the forum.
This is the creakiest car I have ever owned. Probably partly due to the type of plastic they have used and everything is clipped together rather than screwed.
I sprayed every nook a cranny with silicon spray that cured many minor noises.

Mine is very quiet with hardly a squeak, maybe yours has been apart at some point, possibly warranty work?

Before i bought a Zed people told me that the roof creaks were bad.
I dont have a single squeak, creak, rattle, but i do have a half empty bottle of Gummi Pflege

I did what Chris underscore D (I can never quickly find the underscore button, you know, _ one, so thought it quicker to write it out in full) did and swamped the car in silicon lube. Worked a treat!
