Summary
Grating Noise from Side Window Defroster Vent. The customer may notice a grating or creaking noise coming from the instrument panel at the extreme left or right side. It is only heard when the vehicle is in motion. CAUSE The side window defroster vent fitment (in the instrument panel) causes a grating noise when driving, and torsional forces are applied. The driver's or passenger's side can both be affected.
