All, seems like a lot complain about rattles, squeaks andcreaks in our luxury quiet cabins. I compiled a list of what I have trackeddown so far some of these may or may not apply but worth a try. If you haveother suggestions for a noise free cabin, post in here too. So far, my resultshave resulted in a tomb like quietness even over the worst pavements.
1. Sunglass holder, this seems to be culprit on2015s.
a. To remove, open the sunglass holder, remove to Philipsscrews, and use a plastic pry tool start from the windshield side and prydownward, once out remove connectors.
b. Once out you will see a bunch of screws toremove the covers and PCB board, once you get it all apart add some dense foamtape to certain areas that will dampen the squeaking.
2. Spare tire area the tool kit.
a. Life the trunk liner, and I rotated my tool kitso the arrow on is pointed toward the rear of the car, you can also add somefelt tape to the bottom which will help reduce the squeaking noise.
3. Glove box, if you push on the edges of the glovebox there is a bit of play.
a. Add some of the clear plastic bumpers that isused for kitchen drawers to both corners this makes for a tighter fit.
4. Panoramic roof – loose parts
a. I noticed more creaking/slight rattle type noiseafter getting it back from pano roof seal replacement.
b. There are two accordion style folding weatherstirps that rides in a track on the glass make sure these are on the track. I’mnot sure if the dealership took these off when doing the seal replacement butthese will cause some noise if they are just sitting in the channel.
5. Doors – Noticed when going over bumps I get athud like if the door wasn’t closed all the way.
a. Open the door, you will see the black 12mm bolts, take box wrench and tighten these you will notice some are kind of lose.
b. The door guide bolts, if you look at the doorbelow the hinges you will see where the guide goes into the door, remove theplastic shroud and tighten these as well. The plastic shroud just pulls off ifyou got kung fu finger grip.
6. Metallic clank sound from drive side dash ordoor.
a. Have not able to track this one down, I didremove the entire lower driver side panel to see what could cause it, and founda few loose bolts on the knee airbag and fuse box holders. But one of this hasresolved this issue.
This is all I have so far and like I said my interior isvery quiet, even on rough roads. If anyone have fixed other squeaks and whatnot list it here. Excuse the formatting this forum won't let me do the nice bullets.
