How to Fix the Dashboard Creaking Issue on the Ford Kuga MK2

Model: Ford Kuga C520, MK 2 - Years 2012-2019
Part: Body

If the dashboard of your Ford Kuga is creaking, follow these steps to remedy the issue: use a plastic spatula to remove the grille located on the top of the dashboard, then unscrew the two screws holding the plastic flap beneath the grille. Carefully lift it, being mindful of the electrical connectors attached. Apply sound-absorbing tape where the cover contacts and there are no protections to prevent potential creaks; check thoroughly for any problematic areas. Now, you can reassemble the cover and grille, ensuring that nothing creaks anymore.
