my problem + search review ... creaky squeaky dash

[homerj]

my problem is that the glass/plastic cover in front of the guages on my '07 sedan creaks. when i apply pressure to it with my finger it stops. this means that it is somewhat loose. any suggestions to fixing this? i would like to avoid the dealer and i would like to avoid a ghetto/quick and dirty fix...

now, i did a search. here are other people's problems with in-car noises:

rattles while driving around the dash in front of the steering wheel

had them take a look at the rattle that was coming from the center of the dash ... They removed the speedometer, and placed foam behind that area

start the car after it's been parked for awhile, it would make a high pitched squeal after I turn the key

devinlamothe ( http://www.yarisworld.com/forums/sho...ghlight=rattle ) had a similar problem, but the people that replied to this person's post said go to the dealer... i think going to the dealer is overkill for this small problem.

Just because you think it's a minor problem doesn't mean it actually is. I would take it to the dealer to start a record of maintenance on the situation. It might seem like a waste of time but it could be the difference of being shit outta luck when more problems arise and being protected with your records.
