Vibrating Dash

[mmcgtk 2]

My dashboard (Centre part that covers the clocks and sits on top of the dash) vibrates like made due to all (yes all) of the clips being broken.

 

Now before I get the tiger seal out, what products are out there that will help reduce vibration.

 

Eg. double sided foam or something.

 

I would usually tiger seal the dash down, but someday I might want to remove it ..

3M double sided panel tape/foam? (Assuming you're planning on going to hide it)

I have adhesive draught proofing strip around the edges,including the instrument cluster. A cable tie through the right hand screw hole secured around the choke blank aperture and rounded off nicely by popping out the coin tray and wanging in a couple of self tappers before replacing coin tray to hide them. It's all easily removed and not further damaged should I find a good cowl at a later date.

Any pictures?

Nothing to see, that's the beauty of it. Draught proofing sits like a gasket and can be pushed back in so it doesn't show once the screws / cable ties do their job. There may be a pic of the cable ties visible in my album "red gti" from link in my Sig below

 

Actually there isn't.......it's obscured by CD changer control!

 

But you can see a bit of gasket that needs pushing back...lol

Its probably easier to acquire a better one from another car. If all the clips and screws are there it ahould be fine.

 

Sealing it up will make it hard to fix anything behind it.
