yeah thats what i am gonna do but i am going to put that felt all over, becaus im not so sure its coming from there i tore it all apart tonight and drove around, and its still there so i don't know still looking and tightening bolts and just basically still looking, but i am going to do the felt thing tomorrow in as many places as i can that squeak. also what is this deposit you made on intake manifold? from needswings?

 

I recently had my drivers side seat recovered due to the heater problem. I noticed a squeek coming from the drivers side back and tracked it down to the [lastic panel that holds the seat adjustment controls. They are rubbing on the bottom tube of the seat. I have not done anything about it yet, but the sticky felt idea sounds like it will do the trick nicely.

If you hear the squeek from below or behind the driver you may want to check and see. Bounce a bit on the seat when the car is sitting still. If you hear the squeek then, it is probably the seat adjusters.

 

i have no squeak when sitting still or bouncing around even if i sit in car and have someone else bounce it up and down, its only when going down the road and seems to do it more when i am on the gas a little. can't track it down, i took wheels off on back sprayed everything on both sides with wd and it went away it is def. something outside, but today about a week and a half later the squeak it back so now i am spraying one spot at a time till i find it.

 

I did this and it worked wonders...

 

Dumb question:


Do you store it over winter?
Maybe some mice made a nice little home in your Crossfire????

 

yes i store it, i dunno didn't squeak when i got it out just started happening after few thousand miles of having it back out, i spray wd on back of hub on drivers side and it goes away i have founnd but comes back after week or so and i have to spray it again i haven't gotten to the dealer yet

 

I recently started having this exact problem. It is either in the glove box or, more likely, being caused by where the right of the dash is attached to the frame itself, below the passenger side A pillar. It started when it got really cold around here (low 30s). I'm thinking that the plastic on the dash is contracting and rubbing against the side of the car. I may try the WD-40 solution, but I'm mentioning it to the dealer to see if anything can be tightened up.

Anyone ever find a fix for this specific squeak? It's really annoying.

 

get used to it or get a different car, more squeaks to come, i wd-40'd it for months and it always comes back and more and more developed.

 

Don't get used to it, fix it!!

If you really want the best, buy some Dow-Corning MolyKote D-96. Usually you can find it in an industrial coatings plant, automotive interior specialists, or have Granger order it for you.

You can also get a small sample sent to you. I have had 2 shipped to me already. Comes in an itty bitty tube that's good for about 3 years.

You can also call the folks at www.krayden.com and have them send you a big bottle for the really big squeaks...like a passenger that's pissed you are driving your XF too fast.
