Sprayed the silicone and its much quieter, although its not perfect yet I am pleased with the results so far.

Good result

Wheelchair · 9th September 2008, 15:56

All quiet again today!

Just got to find the other rattle now, although its not as annoying as the screen one.

The silicone spray sounds as if it's worth trying around the creaking areas. I got rid of one annoying buzz today when I removed all the cds out of the centre arm rest. Taken me weeks to track that one down. It made me think that it's probably worth removing anything that's not fixed to help identify where noises are coming from.

That's a good first step. Wish it was always that simple!!

I have lined the CD box under the armrest with that thin foam sheeting that is used to protect the screen of a new TV during transit.
A couple of layers, formed into the shape of the box, keeps the CD cases from rubbing and squeeking.

guys, if you turn up the heaters do the rattles go away? i used to have a focus that did that. the dash would rattle against the windscreen until it expanded with heat then it was solved. not much use in summer tho! lol

Wheelchair · 17th September 2008, 06:44

Not tried that, I always have the temperature as cold as possible.

mattj222 · 13th October 2008, 17:38

is this the stuff you bought?

3-IN-ONE Professional Silicon from Halfords Price £4.99

might go and get some myself

Wheelchair · 13th October 2008, 17:40

That's the very bottle!

Wheelchair · 13th October 2008, 17:41

Work done so far....... The car is back, but will likely drive it tomorrow now.

The report has suggested that a new air vent is needed on the passenger side, I must admit I thought it rattled, but its hard to tell.

They have also sprayed the clips on the cowling around the speedo with silicone and removed the lugs on the clips that were rubbing against the top of the windscreen. Apparantly the screen location clips were touching the roof skin.

The brackets and clips behind the passenger door card have also been padded. That rattle was constant, so hopefully that's now better.

I'm too tired to drive it now, but will do tomorrow, if its no better then when the air vent is replaced they can have another go!

mattj222 · 13th October 2008, 17:55

sweet. can you recommend any problem places to spray it. i get rattles/squeaks from the passenger side and cant place it while im driving so if you have any suggestions let me know. cheers

Wheelchair · 13th October 2008, 18:00

They could be almost anywhere! You really need someone in the car with you to find them.

Horizontal surface, in front of the HU display.
Curved surround, above rev counter dial.
Windscreen (due to poor fit - repaired under warranty)
Badly fitted speakers
Tweeter (a good press fixes this)
Front seat
Rear parcel shelf
