as per title,

do any companies offer services to fix interior squeaks/noises? Want to get rid of some, and haven't had any experience with trim removal, etc, or any techniques to stop the noises. I don't mind giving it a shot myself, but just wondering if there is anyone who offers this type of service, where i could just pay to get it done

cheers,

daniel

As for technique... probably pull the panel/part off and see whats loose?

There cant be too many things making noises, and if you glue/bolt in whatever could make noise, im sure it will soon fix it

This may sound stupid, but have u emptied the car of everything? ...keys, cd case, loose change etc. I had a similar problem and found that the cd case in the glove box was rather heavy and bulging. The weight and bulge seemed to push on the glove box door which bowed it by that hundredth of a mm causing the edges/contact surfaces to vibrate during driving, hence the rattling noise. This was on my Commodore mind you :)

I've also found that if a vehicle is parked in the sun every day of its life, after a couple years it could develop a few lil squeaks that way due to fatigue caused by constant heat expansion/contraction....depends on the car though.

If ur keen and got the weekend free, try removing (even partly) the dash and maybe try some blu tack on all the contact surfaces, and behind where the screws go maybe???

....or u could try a re-upholsterer?

Pull the car apart yourself, It is like 1 big lego set. :)

I had similiar problem with my line, pull it a part, put foam in spots where cables rub metal, tighten the cables in the doors, tape the plastic lining on the door down with masking tape. Expand the electric window winder switch with tape to get a snug fit in the door. Pull the dash a part and tighten wiring, then put it back together.

get one sided damp rid tape, doesn't cost much, find where the squeak is coming from and jam it down the side, sticky side towards chassis

should work ok

or if you wanted to go crazy, get some dynamat, remove the panel, cover behind hte panel with the dynamat and put it back

it'll cost a bit though

shite load of options, thanks guys!

i think it's probably a good excuse to learn how to dismantle the car anyway, as opposed to hunting for someone to pay to do it.

i'll post pics if i get around to destroying the trim, so at least the 34 owners can get an idea if they don't know how to. I'd imagine the skylines are fairly similar anyway.

    • Took it for a drive to do some logs, I’m pretty sure my voltage issues and electrical noise issues are gone, I’ve sent a log to Adam and am waiting to hear back with confirmation  att.K23U9eHyiEJxixH6y1__GQfuqK0EgIoDgQFTs9G8x_w.mp4   idle video from that day just because 
    • Went looking at mine, reading off the tyre, presumably these are 1st week of 2003. Still hold air (I haven't had to pump them up in over 12 months!)     I couldn't quickly find the date on the front tyres, they were fitted around 2008 to the rims, so probably not quite as old, but they have a lot more dry rot cracks in them. Still hold air.
    • I am now intrigued to go check the dates on the tyres on my Skyline... We need a game of who has the oldest tyre still holding a car up, and successfully holding air (for longer than a 2 weeks I feel is successful air holding).   I feel your tyres may be beating mine
    • Ok, still waiting for a date to get the cams installed on the MX5, why so long, because MX5 Mania has received a few new sets of different cams with different specs for the MZR and are currently trialling them, and working out what is best for 2.5 "powers" with stock internals, in the end if I go bigger than the Kelford stage 1 cams I'll need to look at the valve springs  Hopefully I'll get the news on them next week As for the boot of the car getting fixed, I hopefully pick it up early next week, I was sweating on picking it up yesterday but, meh, it was not to be, so ne weekend cruising for me
    • Ok got some old tyres for you guys...my car has been sitting around un-driven for about 6 years now. I had it on the original rims with the shitty compliance tyres it got it with back in 2006, which were manufactured in 2004... Sidewalls eventually rotted and split open, obviously no air in them and the rims were holding the car up. Just swapped them with some 17" Work rims and tyres which are probably 10+ years old too but at least holding air
