No, not what some of you smutty minded individuals are thinking.
The bed squeaks like crazy in the upright position when I am driving, and I mean squeaks, when it is at its worst we have to shout to communicate, and its one of those "gets in your head" noises that becomes the total focus of your attention.
I have tried oiling all the anchor points, and the last try was to spray teflon spray like I had shares in the company, but still the bloody infuriating noise persists.
At the weekend i took down the end curtains and sprayed the teflon everywhere, holding a cloth underneath to catch the runoff, I absolutely saturated all the moving and fixed parts, checked the bolts were tight and cleaned the struts.
After about half a mile the squeak slowly returned a i took bends in the road and within 5 or 6 miles was back at full strength.
The only thing left to do that I can think of is to remove all the fixings one by one and grease them but, as anyone with a dropdown bed can imagine, I am reluctant to do this as it will be a b*gger of a task.
Any (useful?) suggestions for a remedy gratefully accepted before i go the rest of the way to insanity, the wife always says I am barking but this has got me howling.
TIA,
Hymie
