Brake Noise Question

Just replaced the rear pads using quality pads and MB paste. Used the sticky instructions which made it very easy. Rotors were fine.

I am getting a brake squeal only in one instance:

When the car has been parked overnight or several hours, the brakes squeal when backing up only the first use. After that, they are totally quiet in forward and reverse.

Did I do something wrong or is this simply a quirk (temperature/humidity related)?

Thanks

Usually this can happen, actually the pads are trying to "bed themselves" in the reverse direction as well. Since backing up is less distance than forward, that takes a little bit more time.

Some pads actually bevel both front and rear edges to make this process a bit more smooth, although if your pads were not beveled it will still work out with a bit of time.

Keep the faith !
