tim,

Here's a thought. I had a noise from my '98 S70 on start-up.

It turned out that the metal bracket that supports the glove box had the rubber isolation pad installed in the wrong place.

I moved it to the highest part of the bracket so that it made firm contact with the box. For good measure, I also installed self -

adhesive weatherstripping (1/2") along the rest of the bracket on both the horizontal and vertical surfaces contacting the box.

If your want to try this:

1. Remove the torx screws that hold the box.

2. Remove the box.

3. Remove and reinstall the isolation pad as above.

4. Install additional cushioning if desired.

5. Replace box and screws.

Good luck. Let me know if this solves your problem.
