MkV Creaking Interior noise from around centre console and centre tunnel

[celica]

While driving along bumpy roads it is most apparent

Hard to locate, but while it's creaking during driving, if I hold up the knee rest centre console it reduces somewhat.

Anyone know how to tighten this up or have other suggestions?



Thanks

I am in need of the proceedure for removing the centre console, as the creaking is starting to bug me now!..??
Anyone? Should be a link somewhere, its the most common thing on the mk5!

i've not had much time, but have got used to it abit

but i think if i can tighten the triangle knee bit (left side) more it might reduce my creaking

Well as it's an R are you sure it's not the road itself creaking under the weight?

- Very good!

I think you can be forgiven for saying that because you have a .:R

We all have such different wants and expectations from our GTI's - Some are bothered by every single creak. I expect that a Mk6 or an Audi would be more satisfactory for those folks. But if you want to and can solve such sounds, then all is well and good.
