Creaking dashboard
Our ID.3 is wonderfully quiet, but that makes the creaking that comes from the top of the dashboard rather irritating. I get the impression that it comes from small movements between two parts of the dashboard/fascia when we drive over uneven roads.
Has anyone any experience of this?
I wondered if it would be worth squirting some silicone lubricant between the sheets of plastic?
Any thoughts?

Yes, we have the same. It's worse when the car is cold, and as you note on unimproved roads. Apparently it's related to the fixing of the HUD unit in the dashboard, so doubt there is much you can do.

I'm encouraged that there are others out there with a similar issue. My car is returning to the dealers at the end of the month for a third attempt at resolving the creaking dashboard. As with Andreas's car, it's coming from around the HUD unit, so directly in front of the driver. There doesn't appear to be any correlation with temperature differences just bumps in the road.
The dealership replaced the whole dash on the second visit, but the noise reappeared less than a week later. I'm not sure what options are left for them but they do appear to be genuinely keen to get it resolved.

The creaking hud surround happens to ours occasionally, I’ve got rid of cars for that sort of thing in the past!

When the car was in for Software version 2.4 to be installed I asked them to look at the dashboard. They agreed that the creaking was not normal and have ordered a replacement. I'll let you know if it makes any difference.

I had this issue with mine, coming from the area where the cover of the HUD contacts the dashboard. I mentioned it on a visit to the dealer and when I collected the car they claimed to have fixed it, but the problem was still there. I eventually fixed it myself. I purchased a thin strip of neoprene rubber (maybe 1.5mm, I'm not sure now) from amazon and stuffed it between the edge of the HUD cover and the dashboard. This was several months ago and I've had no recurrence of the creaking since then.

The replacement part silenced our creaking dashboard/HUD interface, for two or three weeks, then it came back. I put a little silicone spray on it and that almost silenced it. I don't mind doing that occasionally.
