I’m getting all kinds of plastic on plastic creaking in these panels (1-4) and I need to pull them and apply some type of lubricant or tape. What is the easiest way to do this?

I had the same issues. Terrible design. I pulled all the panels off tried tessa tape and all sorts of things I ended up using a dremel and grinded away some of the the plastic tabs in areas I lined the rear of each panel with a thin butyl/foam sound deadening material. I took the aluminium bar out, removed the plastic moulding that clips into the moulding you have circled and replaced it with a thick foam that supports it underneath. If you leave this foam out after removing the plastic ring moulding the aluminium bar will vibrate.I’m getting all kinds of plastic on plastic creaking in these panels (1-4) and I need to pull them and apply some type of lubricant or tape.

I used felt tape on all of those panels and am now creak-free. I’m putting in a 12” sub later in the week and hope that will serve as sufficient profilaxis.I’m getting all kinds of plastic on plastic creaking in these panels (1-4) and I need to pull them and apply some type of lubricant or tape.

Felt worked on the drivers side but for some reason despite numerous attempts the left side continued to creak. Its a trial and error thing.I used felt tape on all of those panels and am now creak-free. I’m putting in a 12” sub later in the week and hope that will serve as sufficient profilaxis.
Felt tape can quite effective and I find is better for some applications where things like dynamat is sometimes used.
