interior panels chirpin

[alphabets13]

i swear it sounds like a bird chirping every time i hit a bump. i think its the door panels. i think i need to replace some of those plastic panel attatchment things. anyone else have this prob?

i do, but the only one that makes any noise is the little removable panel that the "lug wrench" is attached to in the trunk on the drivers side. i figure ill just put some weatherstripping around it and itll all be good.

on another note, if you need to get some of those "panel attachment thingies" that look like plastic push-pin type things, you can get a sack of about 4 million from a ford dealer for $11.00 - i bought a bag of em last spring, and i was surprised at how many they give you for $11.00.

oh man that sound like exactly what i need. i think my trunk thing is also shaking. are the plastic things you got the white ones that hold the door panels on. the ones with the two round disc parts on them, one to hold the panel and another that touches the actual door frame?

uh, i dont know what you mean, but the plastic things that i got are, like, if youre sitting in your truck, in the trunk, for example, and you look at one of the panels, there are those little round, raised circles all over - thats what i got. if you get one of those "interior panel pulling tools" (which i think are definitely worth the $5), you can yank those things out and theyre basically just like a big plastic push pin that has barbs on it.

as far as the white things that hold on the door panels - i dunno what ya mean - i havent had my door panels off ever.........yet

no, i think you mean the plug things that match the color of you interior. the ones that are also in the headliner. the door panel ones are different, not much but different.

 

[tbomb]

yeah, im talking about the ones that match the interior. but ya know what?...if you need the door panel ones, they cant be much more expensive, if at all.

oh well, sorry to get your hopes up, heh. good luck.

I have the same chirp everytime I go over a bump but I thought it was the liftgate rattling.

no thats cool man. now i know i can get them from ford. i'm sure they'll be in a big pack too. i didn't want to go pullin door panels off a junker all day to get the clip things. thanks
