Hi drivers-
Last summer, some fellow kindly ripped the stereo out of the dashboard
of my 89 Jetta. The damage wasn't too bad, it was clear that he had bent
the dash in a couple of places trying to pry out the radio, but there
were only a few cracks visible. I could live with it. Now that it's
getting colder, though, there are some temperatures when the dash starts
squeaking like anything. With the glove box and the center console out I
can wiggle the dash and duplicate the squeak.
So the question is, is there any way that I can tighten the dash without
removing all of the AC and ducting behind the glove box?
My Bentley is in storage, so I have consulted the wisdom of the internet
oracle.
Thanks - Chris

There are 4 mounting studs with nuts on them that are accessible under
the rain tray. Inside there are two bolts at the bottom edge of the
dash that attach to brackets and there is one bolt at each end of the
dash. My dash used to squeak and rattle horribly. Tightening up the
hardware made a world of difference.
