Last Sunday I noticed a creak coming from the base of the nearside screen frame. It could be reproduced when stationary by moving the nearside frame slightly fore & aft. It was a dry creaky noise. I squirted some silicon lube in the corner and tightened the fixings, and hoped......... But today is was still there after 230 miles! - a good run out. It turned out to be the bonnet creaking on the bulkhead tape. So I've applied some silicon lube to the tapes and fitted a couple of small neoprene buffers on the rear corners. I can't make it creak now in the garage, but haven't had time to get back on the road.

Dave
Do you think this will also work for my knees ?
When I read your post I was reminded of a dry creaky noise with a bit of movement fore and aft, I thought a bit of silicon and some neoprene on the corners sounds just the job.

I have the perfect solution for your creaking knees Lightsphere..... Ask the Doc if he can fix you up with a nipple or two....... Preferably on the joints, but be imaginative.....

Plastic surgeons do nipples - but if you need new bearings.... 
New joints for old!

Just a quick update. Vaseline was recommended for the bonnet tapes - now applied and the creak has gone........

i have a creaking sound from dash area too. When i put some downward pressure on the steering wheel it stops - so i think its the wheel column/dash making contact.I will have to look at the clearance under there.
