I am owning a 98 RT/10 since 2012. I am well aware of the overall build quality compared to today's standards and the pressure, the Viper Team was under at the time to develop a production car. Having said that, I do accept some noises, rattles and creaks here and there.
However, there is one thing, which I was always wondering about, if it can be improved (let alone resolved): the creaks coming from the dashboard. I noticed, that these noises are amplified by rising ambient temperature. In colder months, the noises are acceptable to me. But later in spring and summer, of course, they reach a level that is quite annoying to me. The worse the road condition is the louder these creaks get.
I thought about removing the dash and install some kind of noise cancelling foam or similar as the creaks seem to be generated by moving/rubbing plastic parts such as all the different panels touching the dashboard etc.
Do you guys also experience this and did you ever tackle this (and if so, how exactly)?
Thanks!
