Unhappy Dash noise
My 99 SL developed a rattle that appears to be behind or inside the cluster.

Noise is there when going over road imperfections.

Noise is there even with cluster out. I dug in from under, nothing lose. Behind the cluster, nothing obvious.



Its a creak/squeak type noise that was hear with top down. but now with hard top on I hear it for sure.



Dash mounting points?

Please help.

I am suspecting the noise inside the wheel. Possible clock spring?
