Has anyone else had a creaking or plastic cracking sound from the radio bezel? I upgraded my shocks and with the stiffer ride i now get creaking sounds from the radio bezel. I can push on it and it makes the noise, also if i hold it it will stop. Anyone else have any suggestions on how to fix this? It almost sounds like when your twisting an ice tray to get the ice to pop out.
 
loosen the bottom 2 mounting screws, push it tight to the dash and tighten.. IF not you may be able to use some felt as a cushion..

If you have an aftermarket radio, you might want to brace it in the back or place a piece of wood or cushion underneath the radio. This noise is caused by the flexing of the plastic with the weight of the radio.
