    Hello, I have 12500km on my f12 and now notice some dashboard creaks/noises on bad roads. Sometimes it comes from the vents and sometimes closer to windshield.

    I also noticed on the race seats the seatbelt holders rub against the leather making an annoying noise and haven't been able to find a cover for them.

    Anyone else experiencing the same?

    The tried and true method of dealing with this is trial and error: First off, the service tech has to hear it. To address it, they take the dash off and wedge spongy material in places that have given trouble previously. More often than not this works. When the noise is arrested they put back the dash and you get the car back. It could take a day or two of trial and error.

    Check the glove box door. If not seated tight on closure it will creak. Also, I personally would not let a tech take my dash apart if the noise can be tolerated. Some things don't take disassembly/assembly too well. Good luck.

    Any specifics I should tell the dealer to avert it being a trial and error?

    When u drive it, try to figure out the exact location of the noise and point it out to them. This will help them.
