It's not the tightness so much as it's the bezel(s) where the openings lay against the various displays. They rub against each other and make the squeaks. Some very very thin insulation (or black electrical tape) should fix most of it. Just take the bezels off and use the tape sparingly as kind of an insulator wherever you think you might need it! Be careful running the screws back in, cause the holes crack out easily (ask me how I know) :lol:

Also check the X-brace bolts. Some of mine had loosened up once. One had backed over half way out!!
After tightening up all the bolts, car is as tight as ever! :steering:
