I have wicked OCD when it comes to creaks/squeaks/rattles in cars. I know, what the hell am I doing buying a Saab?
The Turbo-X with it's rigid suspension and 18" wheels isn't exactly a supple ride. And the dash isn't exactly assembled like an Audi or a BMW. Which leads to lots of plastic-on-plastic squeaks and creaks. Especially around the A/C vents. I dug in to fix the A/C vents but figured why stop there? I took everything apart, and added felt all over the place. I got a few 8x10 sheets of black adhesive-backed felt at a craft store. Cut it into pieces and added it in strategic places. Now I can listen to the beautiful exhaust note without turning up the radio to cover the dash squeaks!
