Creaking Center Console/Armrest

[JBdoingJBstuff]

Hello all. I have had my 22 Raptor for about 2 months. It has about 1300 miles on it and loving every minute of the truck.

Unfortunately, I have isolated a creak which is fairly constant to the center console cover/armrest. It occurs most of the time, but worse on bumpy roads. If i open the cover and shut it, it seems to stop for a few minutes before resuming. Anyone experienced this? Any solutions?

Thanks!

Haven’t heard that particular complaint. Squeaks and rattles drive me nuts but I’m trying to get better about it.

Solution for rattle over sharp edged bumps from center console area

I've been driving myself nuts the last few weeks trying to find a rattle I was sure was coming from my center console. I took everything out of the center console, that wasn't it. Emptied the glove box, nope, not from there either. Worked my way around the console trying to pull and move things...

I live in Michigan. Baghdad has better roads.

I have an occasional creek also, it sounds like mine is coming from the passenger seat near the window and seat belt area. it is very subtle and with then radio volume up it can't be heard. I can not figure out what it is. I never considered the center console, I will check that today.

I have the same. I’ve isolated it to the latch. The release and the latch are both plastic and rub together making the creek when the flip out lid is closed. I’m going to either lubricate or felt the latch on mine.

Same on mine. Would love to hear what you end up doing.

Funny thing. Never did anything to it, but as temps warmed this summer it stopped altogether. Now with cooler temps again, it has not returned. Weird stuff, but I will take it.

Added the loop side of Velcro to the latch and deck where latch falls. Creek is gone.
