Default Noisy radio trim

Has anyone else experienced that panel rattling that goes around the radio and climate controls? It's not really rattling, it's more of a popping/creaking noise, especially if you push in on it. It's driving me crazy.

I have the console, do you have to remove the console to pop that panel off? Maybe I can get back there and put some padding in or something.

Mine does the same thing. If the humidity is high enough, it does not do it at all. Once I turn the air conditioner on and it begins drying out the air, the plastic starts creeking and clicking like crazy. They did not use the right plastic for that application.

I have the same problem it is driving me NUTS and i live in a place with around 0% Humidity, I went as far to take the dash panel off and try to find the creaking. I had no success, but at least now i know it is due to the dryness factor.
