Default The squeeks gettin worse...

I know when i bought the car ppl told me that there were automatically going to be sqeeks and noises from the interior, but it seems to be getting worse. Originally there were squeeks from the dash and my drivers side window. Later on there were squeeks and rattles from the back window. Now there are squeeks coming from the windshield and passenger side windows. I took it in once when i first got the car, and all they did was put a little bit of lubricant and that was that. Well its been a few months and its getting really annoying, is there anything i can do, or is it something that i just have to get used to?

Take all the plastic off and put 3m double stick tape on it. I did that with everything from door panels to heater control face plate. No rattles for me...

Ragtop:

It took me around a hour or so to get everything off and double stick tape it all. The windows like to rattle, if you can take the door panels off and take a trip down to a body shop or a glass shop and have it fixed. Or, bang on stuff to try duplicating the rattle and fix it yourself. The door panels like to squeek where the door latch is. Push on the panel and you will probably be able to duplicate the squeek you get....

Goodluck, it completely silenced my interior....

It'll take an hour or two & a trip around town to make sure you got rid of all the rattles...

wow congrats man, and thanks for the advice. those interior squeeks and rattles werent too bad in the beginning, but now when i have to drive in the cold as hell michigan weather at 6:30 in the morning to go to school, they just seem more annoying.

How did you get everything off to put the 3M double stick tape on?

Most everything, I just crabbed a corner and pulled until it snapped out LOL.

But, tug on things alittle and you will see where stuff clips in place, you'll see how to get it out right away.
