Squeaky dashboard

[ScottishGrenadier]

Just wondered if anyone else is experienced a squeaky dashboard top in their Grenadier? Difficult to pinpoint exactly where it is squeaking from but it is fairly persistent!

Yes, mine was more a rattle than a squeak - like a screw was rattling around behind the infotainment screen. Grange Birmingham said they couldn't fix it and would need to order a new dashboard top. They did fix it, unbeknownst to them while investigating (it no longer rattles) - just as well, as they never came back to me ref the new dash top....

I have a noisy touchscreen console. The thing creaks all day, every day. Only stops when im not driving. Sounds just like a tolerance issue...

Pry off the silver part behind the screen and see if it stops. Mine squeaked and I removed the metal clips that held it firmly in place and replaced it without the clips and the squeak went away.

Yep. Mine does. Very annoying.

I have a solution for you all.
The dash plastic that sits directly behind the screen chassis, wedge a 5cm long x 2mm dia or square mild density rubber foam rod in the gap between these two elements and squeak is gone. Rattles I cannot help you with.
