Center console squeeking
Do any of you notice your center console making squeeking nosies as the car gets hot? Mine seem to do it alot when my leg rests on the console. Has anyone tried to fix this problem with any good results. Would love to hear from anyone else with this problem.

The car does have some squeeks when the weather gets too hot or too cold. I've used Silicon Lubrican (sold any local auto parts store) and spray them in between the cracks where there noise comes from. It seems to have all dissappeared, and the chemical won't damage your interior.

Pull the center council off and line the insides (where it touches the dash) with the felt. Also, put a little around the metal clips that snap back in.
For the roof, line the front and rear of the roof panel where it comes into contact with the weather striping.
I did this months ago and all is quiet.
