Default Squeak/Chirp from dash area

My car shakes a little from the cam and something is squeaking/chirping from the dash/console area from the shaking movement. It may be coming from the underside of the car (maybe a mount or ?)....any ideas for a fix guys? :confused:

Default Re: Squeak/Chirp from dash area (OliverM5)

I was sure that I was getting a squeak/rattle/chirp from the center vent in my dashboard. I road around with it for weeks and it was burning me up. :mad
I pulled the ashtray out and tried to put pressure certain places, etc. I then read where someone posted that the sqeaks could be coming from other areas like the vanity mirrors or sun visors and the like. Folks were saying just becasuse it sounds as if it is coming from a certain area it doesn't always make it so. Well, I was just about to start taking the dashboard apart when my wife reached up and held onto the radar detector. I'll be. It was ever so slightly rubbing against my rear-view mirror. That was it. I'll tell you one thing for sure. The sound did not at all sound as if it were coming from that area, but it was. I am sure that you have probably checked over stuff like that (if not it is worth a shot) so good luck and TTT :cheers:
