Squeak coming from dash

[Reynoma]

There is a squeak coming from my dash - somebody else described it as "a bee buzzing under a cup". To me, it sounds like two pieces of styrofoam rubbing together. Anybody else with this problem? Any quick fixes?

Unfortunately, this is a common problem. Many people have noticed it and discussed it...and some have found resolutions as well. I searched for "dashboard" and found the following threads that may be of interest to you: http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=4267 http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=3361 http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=2522 http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1831 http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=1327

I am curious....Did you replace the stock radio by any chance?

[ragingfish]

Me?No. Why do you say that?

[ArcsVibe]

Sorry Mike, I meant that for the person complaining about the squeak.My bad!

[ragingfish]

All good...make sure when you reply you put the username of the person you're talking in the subject...otherwise everyone thinks you're talking to them...

ArcsVibe,No - I did not replace the stock radio. It's still there.

Ok.I had a squeaking problem on my 96 Cavalier after I had the radio installed. The tech did not put back the dashboard correctly.Good luck finding out! keep us posted.

Well, I did the "electrical tape" fix - and it worked great. No squeak at all. Total time to fix was about 3 minutes (half of that time spent trying to find the electrical tape in my house).Thanks everybody!
