Vanquish squeaky carbon panels
#2
Reminds me of the Dr Joke. Hey Doc my panels squeak when I do this. Well, don't do that.
Is it from the boot lid rubbing on the rear 1/4 panel? Or simply from the flexing of the panel itself? My experience is carbon panels very stiff.

Ha, yes there is that...
Not the boot lid - it happens when gently moving it up and down. Might be making the sounds when driving - haven't checked that.
Carbon seems hard and yet flexbile.

Sounds to me like an issue with one of the panel mountings being loose (missing?) and/or contact between the periphery of the carbon panel and an adjacent part as if flexes. Does this happen if you try and flex the rear fender on the opposite side of the car?

I wouldn't think so, but if it is squeaking on both sides then maybe there was some sort of consistent build issue on both sides of the car (missing anti-squeak tape?) I am looking into possibly buying a Vanquish at the moment, when I get up close to a good one I will give it the squeak test and let you know
