it doesn't have to be shin etsu grease, when I first got my car it squeaked really badly on the move, I used a tube of regular silicon grease from Maplins just £2.99 the job is a little messy but wow what a difference it made, the rubber sections are now a nice soft dark finish, not a single sound.

Added secret cupholder divider. I actually stumbled upon this myself today waiting in the Tim Horton's drive through for my single cup of coffee. Don't you hate it when people order food

Increased the size of something. Also added picture as a subject break to make it easier to read.

Thanks for the kind words and suggestion. Those two items don't really fit into the theme of my thread, however they two topics should be found in the * * * FAQ's, DIYs, and Maintenance! * * * ****** IMPORTANT! ****** Read First!
