Squeak from what sounded like driver sun-visor area when car goes over bumps. Removed headliner three times at attempts to resolve issue. Finally discovered squeak was from dash behind instrument panel. Removed instrument panel, found squeaking mounting arm, sprayed lube, no more squeak. Loud "bonk" sound from roof center when car enter or exiting driveways. Multiple unsuccessful attempts at resolving the sound, finally found cause as aged body foam between roof cross-member and roof sheet metal, the body foam sticking to then breaking away from the roof sheet metal when car body flexes. Culprit roof cross-member located adjacent to rear edge of moon roof opening. Used hack saw blade to grind away aged body foam, sprayed lube, no more "bonk." Squeak from roof rear when going over bumps. Removed headliner multiple times at attempts to resolve issue. Finally discovered squeak coming from upper rear windshield frame, confirmed by reading similar complaints in forums. Sprayed lube, problems solved. |
