I couldn't find a thread on this...

The "Dual" button next to the navi screen squeaks like a a rustry hinge when I press it.

Does anyone know how to fix this? The car is only 3 months old, and I rarely have a passenger to even make use of the dual climate feature, so the button is seldom pressed.

Thanks!

 

If it's only 3 months old, bring it back to the dealer.

 

True, but the closest acura dealer and the one i bought mine from is over 100 miles away. i'd rather handle this one on my own if possible, than waste an entire day, especially if the fix involves WD-40

 

Dunno how friendly WD-40 would be on the HVAC/Navi system.....I will pray for you.

 

you are joking right???!?

 

If I was going to try anything myself, I'd use graphite.....

 

I get a similar "squeaking" on the down-volume button on the steering wheel controls.

 

I'm not going to use WD-40 on it.
Although after buying my first house, I leanred that it does fix nearly everything.

I'm sure there something that can be done. Otherwise, perhaps it will just work itself out over time of being pushed.

Bug guts will eat away the finish on your car if not removed quickly! Use WD-40!
WD-40 protects the Statue of Liberty from the elements.
WD-40 attracts fish. Spray a LITTLE on live bait or lures-you'll be catching the big one in no time. It's a lot cheaper than the chemical attractants that are made for just that purpose. Keep in mind though, using some chemical laced baits or lures for fishing are not allowed in some states.
Use it for fire ant bites. It takes the sting away immediately, and stops the itch.
WD-40 is great for removing crayon from walls. Spray on the mark and wipe with a clean rag.
Also, if you've discovered that your teenage daughter has washed and dried a tube of lipstick with a load of laundry saturate the lipstick spots with WD-40 and re wash. Presto! Lipstick is gone!
If you sprayed WD-40 on the distributor cap, it would displace the moisture and allow the car to start. (If I knew what a distributor cap was, it might help)
WD-40, long known for its ability to remove leftover tape gunk (sticky label tape), is also a lovely perfume and air freshener! (Joking)
Sprayed liberally on every hinge in the house, it leaves that distinctive clean fresh scent for up to two days!
It removes black scuff marks from the kitchen floor! Use WD-40 for nasty tar and scuff marks on flooring. It doesn't seem to harm the finish and you won't have to scrub nearly as hard to get them off. Just remember to open some windows if you have a lot of marks.

Disclaimer: Gibson6594 added the bold text as a gag. WD-40 may or may not stop the dual button from squeeking.

 

Do you plan on doing all the scheduled maintenance yourself and/or locally? If not then just wait until your next scheduled maintenance in which you'd be driving the 100 miles anyway.

 

I would wait until the next dealer visit unless the squeak is going to cause a "postal" incident or road rage.

Otherwise you might try some graphite as suggested or a minute amount of Pro Honda Silicone spray on a q-tip.

You also might swing by a Honda dealer if they are closer.

 

... and here I thought it was the clear bra from the other thread that did this...

Gibby, I hope you did a 'cut and paste' for your list.... that was WAAAAY too much work otherwise!
