    SLK Dash sound

    The noise mentioned was actually the seal on the roof rubbing and vibrating. Problem has been completely solved thank to a product called Krytox - See my other posts if you need to know the details. Many thanks to the helpful member who informed me of this product.

    creaky dashboard

    Thanks for the comments, mine is a 2001 car - so facelifted and hopefully not as badly constructed the very early ones were(apparently) I will check the screws and dash joints then silicone spray the joins and post my findings on here. Thanks again.

    creaky dashboard

    Does anyone have any experience of a creaking dashboard when driving? I have an SLK with leather interior. I wondered if silicone spray down all the joins might help? Would it do any harm if it didn't help Any comments are gratefully recieved:rock:
