Toyota Camry: Quieting Plastic Rattles in Cars - What to use?

A guy who used to install stereo's for Circuit City told me that he
used glue guns on Avalons. (Wonder what happens if you need to take
it apart again.)

SENATOR ZELL MILLER DEMOCRAT OF GEORGIA, the nation's most prominent
conservative Democrat, said today he will endorse President Bush for
re-election in 2004 and campaign for him if Bush wishes him to. Miller
said Bush is "the right man at the right time" to govern the country.

The next five years "will determine the kind of world my children and
grandchildren will live in," Miller said in an interview. And he
wouldn't "trust" any of the nine Democratic presidential candidates with
governing during "that crucial period," he said. "This Democrat will
vote for President Bush in 2004."

There's also several brands of flexible rubber cement type epoxy.

I sure as heck needed something like that for my Dodge Caravan, but so
far the Sienna is quiet as a mouse and I think part of the reason it
will stay that way is because the Sienna is so well isolated from the
road that unlike the Caravan it will not shake and vibrate itself apart.
I had several mount points in the Caravan which had broken thru and
caused the plastic panels to rattle and buzz.

Yes there is such a thing. Any industrial supply house sells it. Look in
the yellow pages under "Industrial Equipment and Supply". Ask for exactly
that: Dry silicone spray.

We use it extensively in our industry (paper) because it lubricates but
does not attract dust, which a wet lube would.

If you can remove the panels, it might be worthwile to use a little art
putty at the contact points to cut down on the relative movement between
the panels.
