Hi,
My 97 NSX-T has developed a fairly nasty squeak/creak when going over bumps/rough roads. At first I thought it was the targa top, but then I found it still occurred when the top was removed.
With top removed, it sounded like it was coming from the front of the car (under the windshield/dash, but I finally figured out a couple days ago that it's likely from the rear glass hatch and the sound is "reflecting" off the front of the windshield. (Us silly humans have been designed with forward-facing ears, making it tougher to diagnose rear squeaks on NSX's)
I found that by pushing down on the rear glass hatch, towards a far corner/side (not in the middle portion.. Pressure needs to be off-center) I could create a loud rubber squeak which is probably the squeak/creak in question.
That said, how do I get rid of it? I tried washing all the rubber (both under the glass, and along the engine-cover) with warm water that had a touch of dishwasher detergent in it.. No dice, the squeak remained.
Could it be that the rear hatch needs to be either tightened down more or less? (I think I noticed the there was a "bumper" that looked adjustable.. ?
Any other thoughts? Anyone experience this before?
Thanks,
Marc
