First squeak

The moment i sat down in an enlarged US version of i-miev i wondered how long before it starts squeaking. I recalled my trusty Peugeots that evolved to use as little parts in the dashboard as possible and glanced to the enlargement insert around the undersized dashboard of the i-miev.

The European and Japanese versions are smaller, so to fill in the gap for a wider US version, a plastic insert was devised around the dashboard. Of course it neatly holds the tweeters, but it also producing a rattling noise on rough roads. And it's just the type of asphalt that is used in Northwest: rough.

I'll place a pic of where the noise is coming from: a horizontal connection of the higher part of the insert and lower one. So far only on the left side.

2000 miles.
