Engine lid squeak
 

I've traced a squeak in my '88 Carerra coupe to the bracket that holds the A/C condenser to the underside of the engine lid. There is a small gap between the bracket the condenser. It seems like there should be some kind of rubber piece or something to fill this gap. If I put a wooden shim in this gap, the squeak disappears.

Has anyone else experienced this, or can you comment if there is a part that belongs between the metal bracket and condenser unit/

Many, many thanks. This squeak is quite annoying!

If it's the center support bracket near engine lid light, a piece of adhesive backed foam goes in there.

That's the bracket all right!
Can you tell me the approximate thickness? I think I'll try to fabricate something that resembles the factory part.

Please post a pic.

Thanks,

The foam I used is a dense weatherstrip type seal. This is similar to what I have seen on the factory brackets.

Likely available at your local Home Depot, ACE, Lowe's etc.

The roll I have measures ~13/16ths (20mm) wide and the foam is 1/4" (5mm) thick

Good luck with your fix.
