Great info!! Thanks for posting.

I've been thinking of taking mine apart to tackle the creaks and rattles, but I wasn't sure what I'd get into. This definitely helps.

A couple of questions:

What is the best way to grip the panels (both in #3 and #4) to make sure nothing snaps off when I start to pull?

Also, I've always thought that running some kind of trim or bead of sealer, caulk, or something would help tremendously on the plastic to metal source of the creaks. Do you have any opinion on whether this would help?
