Tricks to stop interior squeeks?
The interior trim around my 65 Coupe's rear window squeeks from vibration. The trim screws are all tight but I notice some flex in the trim between screw heads. If I put my hand on the trim it stops making noise. I thought about putting some foam weatherstipping with the self adhesive backing on the back side of the trim. Anybody have any better ideas?
Thanks

Coupe Halo to side rattle - Buzz
I have the same issue - engine/sidepipe vibrations transfer directly through the body and resonate easily through the thin halo panel side skirts just by occupants head - pass and driver. I ignore this as it comes and goes depending on revolutions etc. If I were to go after this issue I would losen the halo panels (the dog legs need to be losened as well) and insert very thin foam or even cloth - just to eliminate the halo panel skirts from touching the coupe side roof panels. This should solve the issue for you.
