Creaking at passenger seat and ticking sound coming from rear air vent trim.
As the title states, I'm getting a creaking sound coming from the front passenger seat in my car. It only really makes a sound when someone's sitting in the seat so I'm sure its weight related. Maybe there's something loose? Anyone experienced the same problem?
Also I'm getting a ticking sound coming from the rear center air con vent. It just a slight but noticeable "tick" sound every time I drive over bumpy roads. Anyone experienced the same problems? Does anyone know how to remove that trim? I'm thinking of removing the trim and inserting some felt or foam into it. I had the same problem with my center console, where the shifter was, I had it removed, installed some felt around the area where the clips are and the sound went away.

Yeah, I remember having that same problem too. When I brought it into MB they just found where the rubbing was occuring and stuck on some kind of tape. Dunno exactly what it was but it helped so yeah. Just bring it in and they'll find it haha
