Have my new 2008 vert but noisy dash Posted by rpm2 [Email] (#259) [Profile/Gallery] (more from rpm2) on Mon, 19 Aug 2013 19:16:02 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
Love the car (actually 2nd place in SOC2013 People's Choice), but the creaks are bad when you go over bumps. I'm in Toronto with family and went over to Budd's Saab and they didn't want to work on it because they say the center vent always breaks when they take it out and they always replace it with new. Don't have time to wait for a replacement part as I leave for home to Wisconsin on Thursday.
All the creaks are coming from the dash fascia, vent and radio. So I have some fading on the dash fascia and I could order a center vent and do the work my self. Is the effort too much for a novice? I figure if I scratch the fascia or vent I would be replacing them anyway.
I just read a post from B Millar removing creaks from the Turbo X dash and that's what I need to do to mine.
The other question I have is the radio display. One of the sponsors brought in a 2008 radio and I took the face plate for cheap (our display part is badly scratched). The radio was not unmarried from its original car so its a dud. The face plate is off with the display circuit in behind. I assume the radio security is in the main unit itself. So in theory I am hoping to replace the face plate only.
