[s-cars] Squeeks/Rattles?

[Daniel Hussey]

It's an S4, not an Acura or Lexus!  Ok, but yes, the squeaking can be
excessive.  I have the same thing in my '95 S6 Avant.... mostly at the
B-pillars (and some in my case, from my cracked tailgate trim)... but,
that's another story.  The wagons seem to creak a little more, but there's
more interior, so it makes sense...

Coincidently, my mom had the same craking in the B-pillars on her '97 A6 and
had it fixed under warranty.  I think they pulled off the B-pillar trim and
wraped the very leading edges (where it clips into place) with felt tape.  I
THINK this was the dealer fix.  Anyways, the problem seems to have been
remedied.

Can anyone out there confirm this, and if so, where can I get some of this
tape?

Later,
Dan
