Squeaking headliner

[rsm688]

Okay guys my headliner squeaks anytime I go over a bump. The noise comes from the area in between the front driver and passenger headrests a little bit behind where the overhead light is. Has anyone figured out how to make this stop?

I was thinking I could put some foam or poly fill in there in between the roof and the headliner to quiet it down. If I push on that spot with my hand the noise goes away.


Also, to pull the overhead light out do you just apply some pressure to both sides or is there a screw holding it in?


Thanks,
Spencer

It's probably the overhead light wiring. My Alpha rattles in that spot (just haven't messed with it). To pull the light you'll find one corner of the lens with a notch (passenger side), pop it loose with a small flat blade screw driver. The lens will rotate out of the way and then you can remove the entire light. Also make sure your two headliner clips are tight in that area.

mine has a big foam block in that spot. you might try sticking some double-sided tape on top of that block so it sticks to the roof.

Thanks guys, I will try some double stick tape on that block. My two clips are tight there in the center.

Best4x4, what's the fix on the wiring? Just double stick tape it to the roof or something, or put a thin piece of foam or poly fill above/below it?


Thanks,

Not sure haven't attacked mine yet. I jam out so I only hear it pulling into the driveway lol. I'm sure some foam around it would solve it.

You can use Velcro too!
