Creaking Windscreen

[Rolls]

So recently my R32 skyline has developed a horrible creaking noise that I thought was originating from the dash, today myself and a friend removed the entire dash only to find the noise still there, after driving around at 10kph with my mates head burried in the dash he determined it was the windshield creaking in several locations, other than calling up a windscreen repair shop to remove and refit the same windscreen is there anything else I can try?

Wow... never heard of this one before

It's probably not the actual windscreen creaking, but either the pillar or firewall or front quarter panel creaking. It would be from flex in the body.

We even tried fitting a mates strut top brace but that didn't help, it seems even rolling the car at 1kph an hour over gravel makes it creak, imo I think it is more that it is loose or something however pressing on it doesn't help at all.

Really odd, hopefully removing it and refitting will fix the issue.

My 33 started doing this after a new windshield Im guessing 16 year old sealant is fairly strong LOL.

Agreed^^

Body flex around the A pillar

Take the windscreen out and move the car around

If it still does it then some spot welds should tighten things up

A strut brace is too far forward to make a difference

Interesting, where would you put spot welds? I might take it for a drive tomorrow with no windshield and see if it still creaks as the guy is coming to refit it.

Refitted the windshield and the noise is gone!

Noise just came back what could it be?? f**k my life

Both myself and mad082 have suggested where the area to look at

Windscreens cant "creak" they can leak but not creak

[Rolls]

It is creaking along the seal at the bottom of the windscreen, sounds like polystyrene rubbing now that they have changed the seal, I think the A-pillar is flexing causing the seal to scrub making the creak noise.

Where should I add spot welds in the A-pillar?
