Does anyone have the sqeeking sound on the right side of the dash by the window? I swear to god that is pissing me off and i donot know how to fix it i do not see anything i can really tighten, and it is bugging the hell out of me to a amazing amount

 

ohhh man i think i know what your talking about...

 

I think I have it too.. One thing to check is the plastic vent on the dash that aims toward the window. I know that makes some of the noise. The rest it sounds like is coming from the A pillar on that side in my car...

 

I've got it too. Mine sounds like it's where the dash meets the A pillar.

 

i got it too. i use to think it was my speaker. its annoying as hell

 

check the a-pillar and the little tweeter on the right door (if you have bose) that's where mine came from

 

thats where it is. there is a tsb for it...

 

i got stupid noises ALL over, specillay from the seat belt area of in the passenger side, i constantly hear this wzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz bee sound

 

Yup... when your lowered its even worse

 

its the pillar...thats what mine is...I put a sims bow silencer thing behind the pillar no more squeaks...its used for compound bow inarrows to reduce vibrations when shooting works really well...

 

It may not be the same thing, but I had a noise coming from the plastic cover that goes down the pillar by the windshield. I took it off (it's just snapped on) and found these little tabs that I was able to wedge it behind and snap it back on. It was rubbing against the dash. This leaves a little gap so it doesn't look quite as good, but it's not a big deal. The noise is gone.

 

I HAVE THAT NOISE IT DRIVER ME NUTZS. At least nissan was consistent in their poor interior fit and finish.

 

Just turn up the radio.

 

yea just raise the volume and all is well, but i have that and many other noises in my car

 

Man i got a few rattles and **** too. I turn up the radio but i can still hear it rattlin. Someday ill fix it but till now ill just try to ignore it

 

my intake and exhaust drown out my rattles...

 

there is a TSB for all these annoying interior noises in the 4th gen's that creep up over time....in the TSB, it shows where all the known squeaks come from with pictures/diagrams and where to apply something called "squeak tape" any idea where to get such a tape that is supposed to stop these annoying rattles?

 

Most likely the pillar

 

man there are so many damn rattles i can't tell what it is.

 

yea i got it too

 

The A-pillar cover rubbing on the dash is probably one of the areas you guys are getting a squeak. It's covered in the TSB, along with many others (I did them all whether I had a squeak/rattle or not). My car is quiet now.
For "squeak" tape, I used several different things, depending on if I had to reduce friction or fill a gap to prevent movement. The first was double sided sticky cloth tape (also known as friction tape). It's the stuff you wrap hockey sticks, baseball bats, etc to ensure you get a good grip. Another was regular automotive cloth tape (similiar to silver duct tape, but mine was black). These two tapes can be used over little tabs and along seems to prevent plastics from rubbing (squeaks), and to fill very small gaps to make pieces fit tighter (mainly rattles). They both work well. As to which to use when, that is simply a judgement call. Use whichever you think will be easier to apply and will stay where you put it.
For larger gaps (I use some behind my A-pillar covers), try the adhesive backed foam weather-stripping. The same stuff you put around door jambs of your home to prevent drafts. I got the thinnest I could find (Maybe 3/8 x 3/8 or so, I forget exactly). This stuff will fill larger gaps that the other tapes won't. Strategically placing little pieces (1-2" long or so) every so often along the gap will suffice; you don't need to line the entire gap with it.
Using all three of those in conjunction with each other has really quieted up my interior. Now I've got to line my glove box and door map pockets to prevent my tire pressure gauge, pens, detailing brushes, etc from rattling around.
If you follow the TSB for interior squeaks/rattles, you'll really get rid of some annoying noises. The one that blew my mind (because I had spent so many months, if not a year) trying to find was in the glove box. The little light socket is loose in its mount, and a little "squeak" tape (automotive cloth tape) around the socket really tightened it up. Don't forget the A-pillar covers, shifter plate, dash trim plate (black pieces), fuse box cover, and anything else that can "move" even a minute amount.

Hope this helps.

For anybody looking for the infamous "squeak reduction tape" I couldn't find it anywhere in the stores but a search for the part number listed in the TSB came up with a few results on google.

Here's what you're looking for. I bought it and it fixed the rattles and squeaks. Its used in several noise related TSBs so it may fix a majority of your rattles.

 

I have absolutely no squeaks or rattles in my 99, it rides very quiet.
Factory freak perhaps?

 

I am a new maxima owner and i am not too happy with the build quality. I was expecting better. Its not as well built as Toyotas and Hondas but its a heck of a lot better built than most American cars. But i don't care cuz its still a bad *** ride. Man the the VQ is nice too.

 

I had that problem, but I removed the A-pillars and threw some black fabric on the bottom of them. No problem since then.
