MIC Top Noise Update, 1000 Miles After Repair. Did It Work?

Great video. Hopefully, I will go back to OBX in my OBX. Great beach and awesome fix.

Great video! This was us a week before Christmas. Video is from the Ford accessories dash cam. Version with audio was too large to upload to forum.

Anyone care to share the results for those that don't have the time to watch a video?

I did the same thing on my 4-door and so far.... seems good. Super easy to remove if it ever caused problems but so far so good.

Speaking for myself, I’ve never had the problem he describes, but I’ll keep this on the back of my mind in case it’s needed.

I just crossed 5,000 this week.

I just applied a touch of silicone grease to the pin on my MIC and its been squeak free for 4 months now.

I did the heat shrink as well, nice and snug fit with zero noise. Definitely beats reapplying a grease or lube.

Agreed. The grease also is a dirt collector

I’m 2000 miles in after applying your fix and confirm it’s still working as well! Think it’s a better solution than lubricant or electrical tape. Since fixing that though I have developed a creaking/rattling in the rear trunk area that I need to figure out.

Been through heavy rain, heavy snow, multiple car washes and no leaks so far with 6000 miles.

Or just switch to a soft top

After scrolling the entire video muted I didnt see where he did one thing, nothing but talking and driving? It would be nice if someone actually showed what they did?

Thanks for the original video/fix. I used heat shrink for my MIC noises and this fix definitely works. It's been over 2k miles ago and all is still good.
