Hey I'm wondering if anyone has made their center console quiet up. I know where the noise is comming from, and it's getting a little annoying. It's comming from the top right of the shifter boot/plastic housing thing. It's the part that snaps into the console, usually black. The top right corner will pop out at times, and I'm wondering if anyone has fixed this somehow.

Yes, I had the same problem. I put a drop of black permatex in all 4 corners. Just don't go over board or it will squeeze out everywhere. Good thing is you can still pull it apart if you need to. Also will help if you put something heavy on the corners for a few hours afterwards. I used a couple heavy (and clean) wrenches.

Did you put it on the clips? Or just in the corners?

The front got just a dap next to the clips. On the back driver side the clip had to be eliminated due to a switch I was putting in that spot, so I put it all around that one. I ran a small bead all the way across to the passanger side clip. Worked great. I could get a pic tommorow of what I'm talking about with the swich and stuff if you need.

Alright cool I'll get some permatex this weekend and put it around the clip that's causing the problem. Thank!

I thought exhaust was for the suspension.
