Model 3 Wood Trim Major Creaking

[cochran]

I am getting major creaking noises coming from the wood trim in my p3d. I know it's the wood trim because if I put a little bit of pressure on the trim, it makes the same sound.

Does anybody else here a creaking sound if they put slight pressure on the wood trim near the passenger side?

Also, anybody have a fix/solution for this?

Have not run across this issue, but here is a video of how to remove the wood trim piece. Start at 1:57 mins.

Interesting. I'll give it a look

You should be able to find whats causing your creaking issue once taken apart.

Its extremely easy to remove.

Don't forget to remove the end clips first.

Yep. I suggest some foam tape for the mounting tabs as well when re-installing.

Will try this. Thank you!

I had the same issue and I would also clear/break off the messy plastic welding pieces under the dash once removed in addition to felt taping all plastic on plastic contact points. Once I did this I stopped hearing the annoying creaking noises

What is the best way to go about doing this?

Do you happen to have a picture of where you placed the felt tape?
