Squeaky Drivers side door armrest/door trim
Hi Guys,
did some searching on here but figured I would post since I didnt find anything specific to my issue so I apologize first if I missed it. When I open and close my drivers door and push on the armrest it kinda squeaks, not high pitched kind of a lower pitched rub sound. I can press on the armrest towards the door and it kinda does it as well. Also when I press just above the arm rest it makes the sound. I am wondering if anyone else has seen this. I usually use my elbow to kind of swing the door open so I hear it all the time getting out of the car. Very hard to tell if its the door panel or the armrest because it sounds like both are making the noise. Anyway before I made an appointment and they rip my door panel off I figured I would ask here. Thanks in advance. |

My door panel is fine, its my center armrest/console that squeaks when you lean on it...rather annoying.

My wife's center armrest squeaks, too. Not both sides -- just the driver's side panel. It's bothered me every time I would drive her car. She said she doesn't notice it, so I never pressed about having it checked.
When my X5 came, I was very appreciative of the fact that neither center armrest door squeaks when you lean against it. I'd be interested in what you find out to see if there's an easy fix for my wife's X5.

I would like to find the time to remove the door panel and install felt tape to the contact areas and creaking comes from. Passenger side front door isn't bad but is a slight creak. Other rattles that are driving me crazy: - rattle that appears to be coming from the passenger side rear seat. I did the fix that they recommended on older x5's but it is still there. Intermittent but is driving me crazy. - creaking from the dash nav area. Seems to be when the interior is adjusting to the temperature after startup. It will get better after 5-10 minutes and then is only there on big bumps. - driver side upper seat belt area. Intermittent - passenger side lower body area. When changing lanes and hitting the road reflectors there is sometimes a tinny or metallic sound. - Today I noticed there is a big rattle when I shut the drivers door. This is new and sounds like something came loose. Haven't had time to take it to the dealer or really check things out since I drive by myself pretty much all the time. My F10 was quiet and no rattles so this is disappointing for the price of the vehicle. |

I completely agree with you. Now that is a little cold out I feel like I hear plenty more. Center armrest is squeaking also now when someone has their arms on it. My old Tahoe didnt creak at all. Kind of disappointing. I will take a small video of the door creak.

I used spray inside my armrest compartment. Open booth sides and spray the part which holds the armrest door. Sorry don't know the word in english. It is the same as the thing which makes the door move.
My armrest does not make any sound no more. |

I had an issue where, everytime when I drive the car on the highway, I guess the highway vibration causes this, it makes this weird rattle just on the driver's door, I have no idea where it's coming from. took it to the dealer, they said they fixed it but the noise is still there, the technician noted he took the door apart, now I'm getting similar noise to the video you posted, but your squeak is rather loud.
