Creaking above passenger side second row bucket

[jjobev]

Thank you and I apologize for all the questions. Just trying to take advantage of what works for you. When you do the passenger side could you take a picture of the size foam you are using. I think I made improvements but certainly not fixed.

No problem. I joined this forum specifically to get help with my ride and if I can provide assistance to others then I will.

Pics of foam size and location for my passenger side. I used just two strips of Pelican case pluck and pull foam strips for each.

Are you using two strips so it can be thicker? In the bottom pick of the foam is that one strip or 2 on top of each other? And it looks like you are pushing in so it is perpendicular lengthwise vs running long ways along the rectangle of the sun roof.

Yep, I'm using two strips. The bottom pic shows them together. Its just enough to fit really snug up against those white clips. I tried to show the clips, and before/after of shoving in the foam. I don't think position really matters as much as the amount. Just as long as its snug to prevent movement of headliner.

Everything feels tight now and I don't get that creaking sound by gently pushed up on headliner. We could always add more at different locations, but to me it seems the sounds generate from the connector location.

I don't think GM has fully thought out everything with the panoramic roofs. Has GM ever used a pano roof in any of their products before?

I shoved the foam right where those white plastic connectors are. You can pull down the headliner just enough to place the foam.

In the front I placed two earplugs in-between headliner. That area also makes similar noises.

Mine was doing this too. Installed the foam just like B520044 said and no more noise.

Same. I think the problem is fixed but haven’t driven enough over the last week to say for sure. Definitely better than it was.

Gen 1 Cadillac SRX has just entered the room.

The foam seems to have fixed the problem. Do you all still plan to have the dealer look at this or just leave as is with foam?

I will leave the ceiling alone for now, but I have creaking on interior door panels. Unfortunately, foam is not an option there. I'll be taking it in for that issue and the rear GMC projection/illumination light. It's starting to fade away.

This truck is really making it difficult to keep long term.

Update: I Will take it back to dealer for headliner. It started creaking again this morning.
