That’s probably an oring failure at that junction, I agree

One my T5 I stuffed butyl tape down between the glass and dash with an ice pop stick and stopped 99% of squeaks , cosmetically it’s about a 6/10. It would look better if I put another piece over it to dress it up. On Evita , a 1999 S70 , Abby and I took the dash out, about 75 minutes, and then reglu...

Don’t forget to measure your temp delta..

1500 rpm
Recirc on
Fab speed 3/4
15 minutes with windows close
Measure ambient and vent temp at middle dash

Interested to see how performance approves

25f ok
30F good
35F excellent
40F superlative

If those have been in awhile they need heat to be applied for thee -four cycles ( propane, 60 seconds, then 10 minutes cooling) to break the bond. If you have a stub of stud left you can apply heat to that and use a sharp vice grip to turn it out. If not, the heatshirld can be zip tied back in A sma...
