in the pictures above i point to the area i wish to get behind or remove to find out my freaking squeak/rattle noise

this next picture shows if i push along here the squeak/rattle stops, or anywhere pretty much along the whole area around the instr. cluster



thx if anyone can help.

 

bump

 

y don't u be the guinea pig?

 

cus i dont know how?

 

curious what kind of noise is it ? like a plastic noise, plastic creaking ? or more of a metal noise like worn springs ? cause if you were able to just push on it and the noise stops, maybe some plastic is rubbing... ? IDK just my $0.02... but im curious to pull the thing apart and see if i could disconnect the damn TPMS light ! I'll let you know if i get brave, other than that someone should have the answer your looking for ! GL

 

all u need are these tools:

flat head
phillips
panel popper
elbow grease

 

anyone taken apart yet??? im having the same problem. thanx in advance

 

sorry nope i've been just living with the squeak

 

i know ivoidwarranties has this https://www.myg37.com/forums/d-i-y-i...ower-dash.html

this is the only thing that i have done as well...never going past that...but i am sure he would know more

 

ya i saw that a while ago, seems a few steps short of where i need to get to, and i dont wanna mess with the whole air bag thing if im uncertain of what to do

 

hold on..let me see if this works for you...expect a pm soon

 

pm sent

 

Hey AZNutx, did you ever resolve that squeek/rattle? I have the same issue with mine but always seems to stop making noise while at the dealer.

 

well after almost 2yrs with the tx heat im assuming, something either melted or expanded, and i no longer have the squeak (like a styrofoam rubbing sound) who knows when it comes to winter time, but yeah i think it's just some kind plastic/rubber type thing that's used to either cushion or support the instrument cluster, cus if i push down on it, it stops, and lately with it disappearing, guess all you have to do is wait 2yrs, and park ur car in the heat alot
