lnterior noises.............
 

l have this squeaking noise which sounds like it is coming from the centre 3 vents above the radio.....has anyone else experienced this...l had my E-Box replaced..so l know it isn't that......l had felt put along the outer windshield cowl as to not rub on the windshield....What else could it be...lt seems as though it is temperature sensitive...its not always there.......:confused:

Do you hear it after the truck is shut off?

(I mean right after it's shut off)

Hey Gilly........thanks for helping.......
 

l hear it when the vehicle is moving.......when l come to a stop, the sound disappears....when l proceed, it comes back.....it likes a rubbing, squeaking sound....Any thoughts.........Heck..l'll put felt anywhere to quiet this down...

I was thinking of the small fan in the e-box, since you had that replaced I was wondering if it would be related. Did the prob start after that was replaced (and just why would an e box have to be replaced anywho?).
Kinda rare, but not unheard of, for the windshield itself to cause it, actually caused by the edge of the windshield seal to rub the body. About all that comes to mind now. If you think it's in the dash I'd get the mcs pulled and then have someone try to find it while it's being driven, been there, done that. i don't recall if there is a way to check for the windshield, it was always the "last resort" sorta thing and by the time you did resort to that, everything else had been tried and the windshield repl would fix it. No warranty? Tailgate dump trucks and pick up a stone chip, let insurance buy it.

Sorry..Gilly..that's what l meant..the fan in the e-box....and no that fan was switched out about a year ago....this sound has been around for about a month now....l will remove the MCS and see what happens..it can't hurt....The sound is definitely coming from the dash area........

"Definitely coming from the dash" is JUST what the complaints were where we did "the last resort squeak fix". FYI. Not saying that's what it needs, but you sure would swear that noise is inside the dash somewhere.

Thanks Gilly...........
 

l will keep that in mind................Can the windshield be removed and re-applied with that black material they used to adhere the windshield...what is that called, "butane" ?????????:confused:

Uh, you don't wanna hear this, but if we wanted to try the windshield, um, to put it bluntly the first thing you do is order a new windshield.......sorry.

If you can get it out in one piece, call the Vatican first, then yeah just call a glass company to come out and glue it back in, the thought is it won't be in the same spot and won't squeak. If you checkk out the glass, along the border there is a plastic "surround" for lack of a better name, sort of like a "frame". It has spacer blocks molded to the frame and the theory is that one of these "blocks" isn't quite the right dimension (maybe too large?) and rubs on the windshield opening, I assume on the bottom center. Which makes me think it might be a good thing the glass breaks so it isn't reused.
I think the type of sealer you're thinking of it "butyl", but don't worry about that. You might want to ask a local dealer who they use to replace MB windshields as they should be familiar with the correct type of sealer to use. We used AGS (Auto Glass Specialists) who are in many areas of the country, they seemed to know there stuff BUT had the brains to ask for tech info if they weren't sure of something (such as the material to use or how to get a molding off or a wiper arm out of the way, or remove an interior mirror or rain sensor, things like that). THAT'S smarter than just assuming and being wrong!

l've tried.........
 

l removed the MCS, and the noises were still thier.......l have now removed the glove box, and will drive around tomorrow, to see if that works...l was doing some checking on some TSB's about noises, Gilly, maybe you could help me out "what is a seal to the heater box", and where is it ?????

Not sure, never heard of that one. Probably refers to the box that contains the heater core and evaporator, that's more behind the glove box. It's the box the climate control filter slips in to. I'd assume they mean the seal between this box and the firewall.
Gilly

Do you think..l can get to it...........
 

The sound is coming from directly behind the glove box..with the glovebox removed..it is clear as day...............

If you can't find it, it might be the body itself. There may have been a TSB on this, might want to ask the dealer or I can ask at the one near me..
Gilly

Thanks Gilly...........
 

Thanks..lf you wouldn't mind.......my dealership is looking in to it..l just want to have another opinion...from another source.......:D

Hey Gilly..........
 

:confused: Just wanted to let you know, l came back from the dealer and the heater box seal will cost me 12 hours of labour to remove and replace with a new seal...No thanks.....and yes..l am out of warranty...any suggestions...????
