I am trying to isolate noise in my 2015 DB9. Gently tapping inside the car, I found the panels next to the doors are loose. I am a newbie ... are these panels supposed to be loose or secured? Any DIY to secure these panels ?

Passenger Side
Driver Side

 

The older DB9's has issues with leather squeaking near the back windows or on that upper panel area in the back.

I believe the Warranty fix for those was to remove, and add a strip of foam to the sections, then re-install. That would tighten up those areas and attempt to prevent movement. Might be what you need, is to just tighten up the fittings so they are more solid, which a strip of foam on the back or sides to make the fit tighter would work.

Just some ideas, but maybe tell them warranty. But I think you have had enough of their warranty issues. Speedracer800 typically knows how to remove all panels inside a DB9, and although his experience is on his DBS or my DB9, they likely fit or are the same parts. See if you can get his response about this.

 

The problem is drive to dealer roughly takes 2.5hrs and about 120miles each way. Even though under warranty, if I can do it myself, I would like to do ii.
I am waiting for speedracer800’s response in another thread.
