vibration rattle from navi screen

Silcone is no where near as good as this dry lubricant stuff. Plus it is messy and can leak out. It also doesnt last as long.

It evaporates quickly to form a layer of dry Teflon.

is it that?

i have bought the one for bikes, i didn't found the dry one : could it match anyway?

It's the second one. Dry lubricant with PTFE Professional range.

damned...
so I should not try with the one i've bought?
It must be "DRY" lubricant?
:/

I would prefer to use the dry type only. I have tried silicone spray but it was messy and didnt last long. You could try the one you bought on something to see if it leaves an oily residue first.

thank you!

I give up... the residue is "oily"... I'll find another one, and DRY this time

EDIT : found it!

but I'm not convinced about the buzz origin : I've noticed I can make it disappear while I push with my finger everywhere to the right of the navi screen, on the screen, or on the panel behind the screen (the best way)...

So I'm wondering if the rattle would not be coming from frictions between some deck parts...
However I think the main way to erase the rattle is the central speakers panel.
If I could put a piece of rubber under...
But I don't know how to remove this panel. :/

Sorry to all for resurrecting such an old thread, but this issue is driving me crazy! My 2012's nav screen buzzes ALL THE TIME now, unless the pavement is flawlessly smooth. Only 10k miles on the clock so far. Otherwise the vehicle is still remarkably tight for a drop-top. The buzzing is really putting a damper on driving the car. On longer trips we shove wadded up pieces of paper towel between the right side of the screen and the dash. This seems to dampen the buzzing almost completely, but I fear forgetting to remove the paper towel and burning the motor out.

I'm going to try the previously mentioned 4-in-1 dry lubricant, but I was curious as to whether or not anyone else had success with that, or with any other solution to this issue. When asked earlier this year, my dealer revealed that squeaks and rattles are only covered by warranty in the first year - something I'd never heard before. I opted not to have them go spelunking at my cost as I didn't want the rest of the dash (among other things) to start rattling and buzzing.

Thanks in advance for reading/advice.
