No dash squeaks....but your grandson's feet would leave big dents in my upholstery. Cute kid.

 

Personally, I thought his grandson would causing the squeaks.

 

Hey now.... don't be picking on our little Cooper.... btw, he's the only one allowed to put his feet ( shoe-less ) on the seats..... that's my buddy! and the reason they call me Poppa

 

But those are squeaks of love, don't you know

 

Arty, I'm sorry if I mislead you... If I said the dash got hard in the winter ( cooler months ) that was my mistake... actually the reverse is true.... seems like when the temp is warm the squeak stops, and the dash is very firm.. no flex when you push on it with your finger, however in the cooler temps, like it was tonight driving home from work ( around 55-60 degrees ) the dash squeak was there again and the dash actually had a little "give" to it... I intend to keep on the dealership about this, but with everyday temps of 90 plus just around the corner here in Louisiana, squeak probably won't be a major issue til at least October....

Sounds like a installation mistake? Doubt there is a difference in material composition?

 

I think it's temperature related, and not an installation error. Warmer temperatures makes things soft and pliable, and cooler or cold temps make things a bit more harder and firmer, IMHO. Poppa, you didn't mislead me since I was coming from my own experience. That said, I'd keep on the dealer to make it right, although it may be more difficult now during the warmer weather.
