Based on what lies written in this text, I tried to reduce small squeaks created by plastic parts using a dry lubrificant based on Teflon (PTFE).
I must admit that my approach to this problem was, to this moment, somewhat different… I used to use some kind of a liquid rubber – the whole idea behind this was that it would absorb the noise by placing something flexible within pieces.
To the moment I tried a “similar” product over the plastic cover assembly where the radio display is placed. The whole assembly was taken off and I applied a Teflon based lubrificant in some hidden key-points. It’s working quite well!!

You’re right about that, its a pretty silent enviroment, but I'm just to cautious about noises… I once had a golf, and that thing squecked!

All cars squeak to a certain extent, just seems like people whinge more these days, my megane squeaks not as much as my old Pug 206 or 106 (Whistling windows on the 206, clunky gearbox etc etc!)
