Refresh Model S "IP decor" creaking

[nikh]

Has anyone attempted to have this fixed? I was told by the service center that they have a potential fix that isn't guaranteed, but they didn't get time to do it last visit. I'm going for another visit and wondering if anyone else has experience.

This creaking occasionally happens on it's own without touch when going over bumps, accelerating/decelerating, etc, sometimes starting at one end and creaking all the way across as the entire thing adjusts/moves.

My center console had a very similar squeak and I was able to squash it here :

Does your Refresh Center Console Squeak? This might help you fix it!

My center console on my Plaid started squeaking more and more when i shift my weight on it. It didn't really bother me until @WilliamG pointed out how annoying it was 🤣 Follow me through the steps I took to get it taken care of Here's the Lube I used ...

I'm a bit nervous to try using a spray in that area but I might just give it a shot. I'll use your methods in other areas as well, thank you!

I can feel your pain. Just sold a ‘21 f150 platinum that had a terrible creaking and rattling dash. Kind of ruined an otherwise great vehicle. Thankfully my 22 MS is silent inside.

I ended up doing the @Muzzman1 method along the entire IP decor from end to end (driver side to passenger side), as well as doing the same thing around the entirety of the center console areas pointed out in the video.

It's not perfect, but it's very close to it now. Thank you!
