Default Squeak/Squawk in telescopic column

Hi,
I own 2006.5 Corvette and vehicle has the tilt/telescopic column (RPON37)
Recently the column developed a squeak or squawk noise when temperature outside is less than 70 degrees.
This noise is only when the telescopic column extends to full up position.
The Corvette has 14,000 miles and has been flawless less this noise in the column.
Has anyone else experienced this problem. If yes what was the fix?

Thank You

You might try using some silicon to lubricate the rubber seal at the bottom of the steering column where it the column goes through the dash.
