    Dashboard creak driving me potty!

    Ok so its not exactly life threatening BUT it is bloody annoying
    My dash creaks over the slightest bump in the road, at first I thought it was the passenger door, so I removed the door trim, replaced the missing rubber things that the hooks go over and thought that would fix it - but no.
    The creak is definitely in the corner where the passenger door meets the dash. I have also stuck some padding on the side of the dash so I know its not the door panel rubbing up against the dash side.
    Anyone seen (or should I say heard?) this before? I just want to know if its a classic S2 problem before I'm forced to fill up my dash with expanding foam or some other equally stupid action!
    Thanks peeps!

    Just a thought, are you sure it is not coming from the windscreen? get someone to gently apply pressure on the screen (with widespread palms...!) in the general area of the squeak while you drive over bumps....
    Might be worth a 5 minute trial, I had this with an old Toyota Celica GT4, drove me mad, just got the windscreen refitted and it was fine...

      Hmm, hadn't thought of that - thanks I'll give it a go.
