Thread: vert squeaking

    Unhappy vert squeaking

    Some advice needed from the vert owners out there... my new to me 86 low mile (58K) mile vert feels pretty solid, but I have a squeaking coming from the passenger A-pillar where it rubs up against the dash... drivers side has a tiny space, passenger side just barely touches. I could probably eliminate the noise with a small piece of felt, but thought I would ask here before doing such a hack fix

    Got pictures? Is it possible that it could be the glass rattling inside the door when its down? mine did that and it took me a while to figure it out.

    The up-stops just below the opening the glass slide into have a felt covering. Old ones dry up or fall off. I changed all mine. No more window rattle.

    Dont think so, I will check it out tomorrow, but it sure sounds like its coming right from that Apiller/dash panel corner

    I'd help but my 88 vert with 200xxx miles has so many squeaks/rattles I gave up a long time ago trying to find them all.

    Check the plastic inserts at the roof latches. They often break and rattle.
