Windscreen Squeaky front pillar?

cosmic girl · 3rd September 2006, 21:07

Hi,
Just picked up my civic 2 days ago , 350 miles and now ive got an irritating squeak from the front passenger pillar, has anyone else had this? it only happens when you go over bumps or corner hard.

I occasionally have a squeaky dash, but not pillar. Trouble with squeaks and rattles, they are so hard to locate and fix! I guess the only option is to take it into dealer, tell them how to make it happen, and ask them to fix it.

Have you had any other problems? It might be worth waiting a bit, it may fix itslef, or you may find other little niggling problems to give them a list. It will make parting with it for a bit more worth while.

Welcome to the forum, how are you finding the car apart form the squeak?

Give all the trim a good hard push... this fixed a couple of niggly ones for me.

I would not do it. During my test drive I also noticed that problem with squeaky front drivers pilar. Plastic trim was very loose. As I tried to fix it by pushing it firmly, a dealer warned me not to do it. He told me that there is a SRS Airbag installed and my efforts may make it explode.
I was today at Honda dealer. I got into another Civic and I noticed that that trim in front pilar is loose too. Is it like that by every Civic ?

I said trim, not the airbag

Perhaps it is misunderstanding. When I meant a trim for me it was that plastic cover on front pilar where airbag or one of SRS components was installed (according to a dealer)

its the trim that covers the airbag, it seems too tight against the screen, it's really bugging me

will prob take back to dealer!
Thanks for you comments

Took my Civic back to the dealer last week to sort out a squeak from the front of the car, they seemed to know erxactly what it was (possibly the windscreen fittings) and they fixed this along with a lot of other rattles and odd noises that I was getting used to, so it is well worth taking yours back.

I had the same noises from front pillars and dash,took it back to the dealer they knew exactly what it was.Changed all the clips on the plastic surrounds ,no more rattles touch wood

Hello chaps,

I have a squeak coming from the top of the windscreen, whenever I drive over an uneven surface. The only thing I could think of was that the chassis must be flexing ever so slightly, and squeaking against a poorly fitted windscreen...... Grr... New cars.....

I have just collected my car from dealers and i have a squeak from above my head they tell me it is body flexing and will have to remove headlining to cure

basegreen · 19th September 2006, 17:08

It's probably the windscreen in most cases.

No sh*t sherlock!

It's either the windscreen, or the bit around the windscreen.... Either way, the windscreen has a part to play.....

Just kidding. Sort of. It's either the windscreen or the surround.
