Creaking from the dash

JHZR2 · 10-08-2015, 10:09 PM

I get creaking from the dash area, starting this year. Never happened before this year, and I've owned the car since new. Car just hit 14k miles so it hasnt seen a lot of use. I did have an armrest creak noise that has been fixed by the dealer. This one came out of nowhere, and while the armrest only made noise when cold, this one occurs when its warm... Ideas??

Two spots where I can make noise:

YouTube video of the noises:

Thanks!

It's normal. Just due to plastic rubbing. You can pull the dash apart and put in padding to prevent them from rubbing. It's the only solution I've seen on here.
