Cracking sound from the arm rest

[Maverick123]

wow that fix looks super ghetto but I've got similar foam so I'll give it a try. Thanks for the pictures

PS I see they also adjusted your tonneau : if you've got the OEM hard roll-up it's really easy to adjust it the way you like ... just loosen the 4 nuts holding the front part, unroll it and place it the way you like then gently roll it up and tighten the nuts

just checked, ours already has those foam squares but they look mangled - maybe that's why it started making noise all of a sudden. I'll replace them when it warms up to see if the cracking sound goes away

PS: edited to add that the OEM foam squares look just as ghetto as the ones they added to @deanobc's Mav

I assume you are talking about the center console armrest. Yes mine does it when I use the armrest to adjust my rear end in the seat. Nothing is breaking (yet) but it sounds bad.

They had already tightened mine multiple times. I was getting impatient and told them to fix it. So far, so good, with the addition of these new spacers. It sounded like my lid/armrest was missing some or all. At least that's what my service advisor told me when I picked it up.

Everyone replying "yes" so far is from the North, and @Cancunbadlands doesn't seem to know what we're talking about. I guess the cracking noise only happens when it's cold, as described by @BLUEOVALRACER

I live in Georgia (USA, not Eastern Europe). I haven't noticed any sounds from my center armrest. I have a 2025 XLT AWD EB.

Yes mine does the same thing anytime I put pressure on it to move around.

Here are two pictures, one of my work order and the other of the foam stoppers.

My 2004 escapes center console lid is disintegrating. I bought it from a super fat woman. Cancer killed her, imagine that.

My 2024 has creaked just a bit a few times,
But I think that’s from my 82 pound BullaDore standing on it while ducking his head to not hit the roof.

I like the foam cushion idea.
