Noise coming from driver side dash
I am getting what sounds like a metal on metal noise from my driver side dash. It sometimes manifests itself as a bird like song. My mechanic advised there are bars installed to help with rattle in the convertables and that may be the problem. Any one have any ideas?
Thanks

I am curious to see if you find a solution to this as I havethe same issue. At low speeds you can hear a chirping sound believe it or not.Two years ago I did fix my vents and that issue was resolved. Last month I took the dash surround off andpoked around in behind the steering wheel but could not find anything loose orrubbing together. My next project will be to remove the wipers and check theengine brace.

Before going through the hassle of removing the wipers and the grille(which I did, chasing a similar sound) just check that the top shock absorber mounting bolt is central between the three retaining nuts. If it isn't the mounts are gone and will make exactly the type of noise you describe. My noise sounded just like it was coming from under the dash - I chased it for weeks before stumbling on the shock mounts as the cause.
