My '85 MGM, "Maisa"

If you ever read some of the factory NVH fix stuff its honestly not much different than what you did. Usually involves putting tape or foam between parts so they can't touch or something equally hacky.

I have an exhaust fan at work that the guard rattles like a bastard on. The fix we came up with years ago is a piece of stiff cardboard wedged between the edge of the two sections of guard so they can't bang against one another. We had an auditor tell us it looked bad and should be removed. I yanked it out so he understood why it was there. The suggestion was dropped.

Dunno what's really hacky about that, sounds about right for NVH / insulation improvements. Even the "high end" is all about stuffing every hole shut with sound deadener and all contact surfaces are lined with foam tape. I mean of course I'd appreciate the factory stuff not falling apart in a way that is causing annoying noises, but the repair / improvement recipe is probably the same anyways.

Went back to the part-out CP last weekend, mainly to take the indicator stalk. Got it, then sat on a stump across the Colony Park like Rodin's Thinker and thought about if there's anything else to take. Didn't figure out anything else to take, so I took a couple pictures.

Here's one of the inside roof (mainly for myself). Considering the headliner noise goes away when the headliner is lightly pressed, it'd probably be the headliner that's rubbing on the crossbrace. Maybe less likely to be the droopy insulation that's above the crossbrace. Or maybe the noise is the insulation tightly between the crossbrace and roof and the light pressure is enough to shut it up.
