Minor Annoyance: Driver Door Panel Switch Cover

Hi,

Not sure if this is just me or occurs in other 2015 Yaris. The driver door panel switch cover is very creaky. Whenever I close the door from the inside by pulling the handle the plastic is very creaky there.

I wonder if this is common?

Also, when the fan is on, it makes a bit of a high-pitch sound. Is this normal?

Thanks!

I have same year, same model and I have neither of those problems. You can take the door panel off and see if you have a loose screw or mounting clip.

The whining fan would seem to be a bigger concern. Mine is super quiet. Open your glove box and make sure the fan is mounted securely and the blades don't wobble.

Thanks for letting me know that I am not the only one that has a creaky door handle. I did pop off the plastic panel and tightened the screws around. I still have the same creak..haha..oh well

I got the recall done for the front door wiring harness, and seems like the squeaking went away. My 2016
