Squeaks hissing noise

phil28sth · 18th July 2008, 19:25

My local dealership has moved the 'A' pillar (front window) to stop the dashboard rattling, however there is now a hissing noise which I think is the material in roof rubbing against something, has anyone else had this?

I'm not totally sure what you mean but I have got hissing type noise from headlining area and it is so annoying. I think the dealer can only do so much before they start going the other way and making things worse, Honda should have put the cars together better with higher quality materials IMO, so frustrating.

My guess is that the corner of the headliner is rubbing on the windscreen. Test by sliding a credit card or similar into the corner, it should be free, there should be a reasonable clearance.
Probably a piece of foam rubber behind the headliner will fix it, else trim the headliner with a knife.

I think your right, it just needs the dealer to put some foam lining in the gap to stop it rubbing. If I put my hand on the lining about 4 inches away from the screen the noise stops.
