squeaky front tv in 03 suncruiser

[LandHo]

Does anyone know how to disassemble the front enclosures so that I can see how the tv is held in place? The tv or some bracket holding it squeaks like crazy everytime I drive over rough roads...any help is appreciated...

duh...I think I found the answer couple of posts ago...sorry...

LandHo...where'd you find your answer about your squeaky tv...We have a horrible squeak in our tv every trip. Doesn't matter what kind of road...it squeaks all the time. Would love to know the solution.

Thanks.

Had the same problem on my rig.

Do a search for "TV Rattle" or you can take a look HERE for more info.

I had a 2003 Suncruiser. There are 6 philips head screws holding the front bezel in. 3 are in the left side cabinet and 3 are in the right side cabinet. I don't recall if there were any screws on the bottom of the bezel but, if there are, you'll see them. Remove these screws and the bezel will pull off, exposing the TV and mounting mechanism.

The TV just sets on some foam pads but there is a flat metal strap that runs over the top to hold it down. There are two 3/8" bolts, one on each side, that you tighten to apply pressure and keep it from moving. If they are loose, tighten them up. If you have squeaking and they appeartight, add some felt or whatever around the strap to deaden the noise.

Do not over torque the straps or you can break the ears off. If they bend a little bit, that's OK. If they bend a lot, you're in danger of having them break off some day and then you'll find the that the TV no longer squeaks because it's laying on the floor.

Make sure to Loctite those bolts or they will come loose again.

I found loosening the band and then placing rubber like a old mouse pad cut to fit under the band on the corners got rid of the rattles and squeaks. Tighten the band just enough to compress the rubber about 1/2 it's thickness. I also placed the same type rubber under the rear of the TV nearest the windshield helped. Ours no longer rattles or squeaks even on rough roads.

I have had the same problem and the aforementioned methods to stifle the squeak is the way to go. I have tried loctite and various other metho, but I found out about every 4-5 thousand miles I have to tighten the strap. It becomes routine and I actually enjoy getting the squeak fixed...

Well I'll tell you what I did. On my 2003 brave the TV bezel is plastic or vinyl. It has two or three screws in the bottom. I found that by loosening the screws a little the squeak went away. I think overtightening the screws caused the bezel to warp and rub on the side of the TV. No more squeaks. I have read all the posts about completely removing the bezel and putting insulation around the brackets. I took the easy way out.
