If it's been like that for this long, I'd be more inclined to check the tightness of the 4 fasteners at the cowl. You have to remove the wipers and the cowl cover in the engine bay, but that's all pretty simple. The heads of the 4 bolts are accessible there. 10mm socket and a small 1/4" drive r...

Even a 1/4 turn could increase the compressive force enough to silence things. I'm not saying to wail on them with a 1/2-meter-long breaker bar. ;) They're only M6 bolts. If one spins easily, then that mount is probably broken. Things settle. Things compress. Especially after 25 years. It's clamping...

Be careful jamming stuff between the dash top and the windshield in the middle. Where the sensor sits on top is not that strong and will crack. Nearly all the ones I have repaired have been cracked in that area. Try away from the center area where it is stronger. What Chuck is suggesting is to gentl...

I would not expect it to break that far down. While anything is possible, I have not seen one as bad as the one in your picture.
