This solved my squeaking problem and any rattling over bumps! Well worth the 15 minutes it takes to do this! I should have done it sooner.

Great idea!! I did not know it can in the dipping can. For a similar problem I used heat shrink tubing in various colours so I remember where different sized pins go.
ReplyDeleteI like your videos but this is why I went with the backbone. No rattle. At least you found a fix
ReplyDeleteThat's good to hear! Seems like mine has tended to get louder over the last month or so, and I've had the top off the whole time. Been thinking I will need to do something once I put the top back on. 73
ReplyDeleteToo bad the backbone can't work with a hard top...
ReplyDeleteYou left us hanging by not showing the fit after the fact. Seems like they have plenty of room, just curious how tight of a fit after you dipped them.
ReplyDeleteo3djeeps [ OVERCLOCK3D Jeeps ] Actually it can but I run topless

+lloydrage okay. Nice. The video I watched must have been an early version
ReplyDeleteo3djeeps [ OVERCLOCK3D Jeeps ] no worries. It’s not modular so diabolical has that advantage
ReplyDeleteThey fit fine... More snug but no issues. I would not make them any thicker.
ReplyDeleteCool. I haven't used that stuff in years, but in the video it looked like you got a great first coat. I used to do multiple coats on tools but it did seem like just one was plenty for this application. I'll run down tomorrow, pick up a can and give it a shot myself. Thanks for being the guinea pig. lol
ReplyDeleteMy rear seats were squeaking. Took me forever to figure out where it was coming from...
ReplyDeleteHope that solves the noise!!
ReplyDeleteit did! I wanted to test it with nothing else in the back... so I cleaned everything out of the Jeep.. drove around, heard the noise. Plasti-dipped the piins, drove around... no noise. :-)
ReplyDeleteOne inch every five seconds? You were a bit fast.
ReplyDeleteThat inst but about 3 inches long .... The pace turned out perfect. 😁
ReplyDeletewould rubber grommets have worked in the actual holes or would they have been to thick?
ReplyDeleteI think it would be harder because in some places there are 4 holes a pin passes through. It's square tube that is drilled though....so on each bar you have 2 holes to pass through. I did consider looking for a plastic tube that could fit over the pin... Or even just wrapping it in electrical tape. But I decided this was just as easy.
