I did all that you told me Tim, and stuffed the 3 inch piece of foam below the tweeter in that creak.
Problem is, I still have that rattle comming from there.
Where should I put the foam in that creak, closer to the windshield or to the door??? I put the foam closer to the door.

Maybe I am not doing something right. Also there seems to be some sort of a tape that is on the dashboard side in that creak. What is that for????? When I was sticking my foam in there, I pilled off the tape a little bit.

Thanks.

oh...

well, it looks like somebody aleady tried to fix that rattle there. I didnt have any tape there. You might have a rattle elsewhere. You know, my rattle was caused by cold temps and the pieces rubbing together. you might have something else. Sorry to send you on a wild goose chase, was pretty sure that would get it.

Re: oh...

Actually Tim,
I am sure that is the same rattle that you were describing.

I am just thinking if I put the foam in the right place??

Maybe I put it too deep in there, so the A-pillar still rattles when hits the dashboard.

Also, why doesn't it happen on the driver side. Same exact thing there, but no rattle .
Freaking Nissan can't make it right everywhere.

Dan -

I placed foam in the entire length of the gap, not just 3 inches. And I mashed it in so that it doesn't show.
