Persistent, can't-find-it, can't-get-rid-of-it noises in your vehicle's dash and console can quickly become a major irritation.
Most of the time these noises can be quickly and easily eliminated. Knowledgeable specialists make a lot of money from new car dealers with this Tech Tip.
THE CAUSE:
During assembly, car manufacturers install little sticky-backed felt pads at strategic points between the formed plastic pieces that fit together to make the dash, console and other parts of an interior's trim package. Ninety-nine percent of the time these noises start when a felt pad slips off (or isn't positioned correctly in the first place).
THE CURE:
- Carefully dis-assemble the plastic pieces in the noisy area.
- Treat all pieces with 303 Aerospace Protectant (Spray on liberally, wipe completely dry).
- Reassemble.
Little fuss, no muss and no more problem! Lasts 2-4 years.
