Creaking noise from interior door handle

[melvimbe]

I've noticed that that the plasticy door handles are prone to creaking. Perhaps it's just me, but my knee tends to naturally rest against the handle, and it will squeak/creak every time the weight against it shifts. It's not a major problem but gets annoying if the radio isn't up loud covering the noise. I have notice that it seems to be an issue on the passenger side as well.

Anybody else notice this? Any solution?

Yes, when I rest my knee against it, it creaks. It's annoying, but I just move my knee.

I would put it where the plastic pieces come together. Worked great on my 4runner and I'm gonna do it to the Raptor. Just spent 11 hours straight in the Raptor with my knee doing the same thing. Drove my crazy

Same here.. I separated the pieces and put some felt tape between them

The stuff I bought isn't available, but this looks similar:

Funny you mention this. It’s happened to mine since taking it off the lot, and was just wondering the other day how to get it to stop. Seems to be drivers side makes the noise and not passengers. I’ll try the lube and also take it apart and re-secure
