Hi all,

My XC40 is only 6 weeks old and on my recent trip I noticed a constant creaking noise from the dashboard on the passenger side. After several diagnostic tests I narrowed it down to the glove box lid. When the lid is kept pressed firmly with a hand the noise stops. The side latch-holder (the side latch of the lid fits inside this) within the compartment on the driver's side is loose whilst the opposite latch-holder is firm. I think that is the problem and given that there are no screws to tighten the latch-holder it appears the only way to fix this is dismantle the dashboard and glove compartment. That is annoying as I didn't want my new car to be dismantled like this. Has anyone else had this problem?
