Compartment chirping noise
My 1981 Vette has a chirping sound in or around the instrument panel. Only hear when moving. I had the speedodmeter cable pumped with grease , no help. Any ideas what this noise might be ?
Thank You Bill

I had something similar and it was the instument gauge bezel.
I took it out and reinstalled with a 1/16" thick x1/4" wide gasket around the outside and so far no more chirp!

I had a chirping sound that was coming from one of the T-top pins that fit into the header corner moldings. A little oil and it was gone.
