Squeaky Noises
Hi Guys,

I have some terrible squeaks that appear to be coming from inside the dash area. I am wondering if it may be fiberglass against metal - everything else appears to be tight.

Any input?

Thanks

PJ

Can you reproduce the squeek? is it only w the engine running? maybe loosen up your attachment points and put a small circle of silicone around them?

Can't reproduce the the squeak - with the engine running I have a slight squeak toward the front of DS fender - I can put my hand on it and it stops - the loud (getting louder) squeaks is on when the car is moving.

Could it be where the body wraps under the frame... underneath the drivers compartment??

No - I am hoping that somewhere around the firewall so of the foam padding came out. When the body is remved for painting I will know.

Make sure there is clearance between the windshield posts and the fiberglass. Also insulate the body where it sits on top of the square tubes next to the hood opening.
