Does any one else have this tape on the hole where the bottom part of your center console latches? Suppose to be there or did the dealer forget to take it off? The top console doesn't have any tape.

If you open the bottom compartment in the center armrest. It's on the edge of the hole that the latch goes into on the base of the bottom of the center console. haha that sounds confusing eehh. I'm getting a rattling noise and I thought it was the actual console since it's all plastic. But when I unlatch the bottom part o the armrest it stops. I'm so dumbfounded.

Hhmm must add hp? Well I think that tape is what's making that noise. I have no clue. But it bugs the hell outta me when I'm driving.

I put 2 pieces of 3m foam tape on each bumper on the console and no more noise.

***DO NOT REMOVE TAPE** that is what holding the truck together and you will loose about 30hp, and the horn will go off like an alarm.

Duct tape you mean? Haha and that's good to know because I almost did the same. Instead I fixed it and I feel better about it now. Another stupid flaw from dodge. :-/
