Default squeak

i have a noticeable squeak inside my c 6 on the passenger side. it appears to be somewhere in the dashboard and is noticeable when going over bumps when the car flexes.

anyone encounter this and if yes, is there a fix?

Take a look in the Frequently Asked Section up in the sticky section.
There is quite a bit of information on this type of thing. It could be a number if things but as I recall there are a few clips that hold the top of the door panel to the body. If one of those slipped off it could be your problem. I don't think taking the door off is a big deal but if it were me I would just have it done under your warranty.
Might be faster to just run a search. Its your call.

Do a search and/or check the frequently asked questions section.
As you can imagine there has been quite a bit of discussion about these topics already. I don't think its unusual but if you can figure out where the noise is coming from it can make for a real quick fix. Try to pin the noise down into somewhere more specific that somewhere in the dashboard if you can. I have a squeak like yours now but I find that if I reach over and pull in on the passenger door handle /gripper the noise goes away. At first it sounded like the squeak was in the dashboard on the passenger's side. Obviously its from the passenger door. Just haven't had a chance to take a look at it. Until I do I will just make sure I have music going. Music=no squeak but can still hear big engine roar.
Good luck.

I had a similar problem on my drivers side door. It was a combination of the door panel squeaking as well as the buttons for the memory seat were loose. You might want to check the door panel, sounds like the culprit to me.
