Ikea bed Grimen rattles

Hello everyone,

I'm slowly getting desperate. These small cross braces rattle no matter what I do. I've already gotten longer M4 screws, countered them with matching nuts, tightened them properly, and tightly "bandaged" the braces with tape. Still, these things rattle internally. I already considered squeezing them together with pliers, but if they break then I haven't gained anything.

Does anyone have a good tip for me on what else can be done?

Best regards
Jan

Hello, I would first screw the braces together at 3 points. If that does not help or is not possible, my next attempt for damping would be to place something between the two parts of a brace.
