Slight vibrations coming from flip lid area

[HairyMilkshakes]

Have a SX-P, been leaving the flip lid open because I use the USB & cigarette lighter port. Noticed a slight audible vibration whenever the car rides over bumpy road, sounds like if you shook a few small beans in a container. Nothing major but slightly annoying.

In specific, the area I am referring to is the cover you push down to cover the wireless charging area: Flip lid stuck closed

Anybody else experience this, and any remedies available?

Turn the radio up.

I have this as well when crossing some train tracks. If it is closed, I don’t hear it. It also surprised me that the lid wasn’t spring loaded.

I was at the dealer today and they couldn't pinpoint the issue. Will have to send them a video.

Easy fix would to keep it open. Or try putting a small rubber pad like material were the lid closes.

The vibration sound is from when the lid is open. I plan on looking at the interior components today and will try to apply light nonabrasive lubricant to the moving parts inside.

On further investigation I was able to hear the rattling sound coming from one of the two hinges that's underneath the cover on the left/right side. Moving the cover slowly up and down made a squeaking sound that I am sure was leading to the vibration noise. But I wasn't able to pinpoint which part I need to lubricate. Will have to get a snake camera in there soon but the current temporary remedy I made was to tape a small piece of foam about 1.2 in thick on the cover so there's a cushion between the top of the cover and where it meets the housing. No noise since then and it doesn't look too intrusive.
