Squeak above glove box.

[Britprius]

Since having the GS450H nearly one year there has always been an irritating squeak from the area above the glove box by the windscreen. I have tried many ways to stop this with little success. Silicon spray, pushing felt strips down the screen gap ect.

While cleaning the plastic panels under the bonnet today I was applying slight pressure to the panel that runs along the bottom of the screen  " the panel that the wiper mechanism passes through." There was the same squeaking noise. Lifting the rubber lip seal that runs along the edge of the panel against the screen then lubricating it with silicon cured the squeak both outside, and inside the car. I now have a car that is squeak free.

This may work for others with this common problem.

Well done John, sometimes you need to think outside the box eh.

Scuttle noises are common in 8th Gen Civic's. They often apply additional rubber/foam to lift the scuttle from the screen and stop the irritating noise.
