Default Interior squeeks and rattles

The plastic frame around the stereo and climate control makes alot of noise when cruising at highway speeds, when I press on it the noise stops. Is there an easy fix for this?

Start here. Instructions showing how to remove the instrument trim panel. Check the torx screws first, just to make sure they are snug or not missing. Don't over tighten these screws, just turn lightly till they seat.

Thanks for the reply, tightening down all the screws is a good place to start. If that doesn't work it's super glue and duct tape time. just kidding I'll take that thing apart if I have to, that noise is driving me crazy. Thanks for the link that helps alot!
