Easy fix
Open the console. Loosen the two screws at the front of inside compartment. Place weight on console and tighten the two screws while weighted. Squeeks will be gone. Happens mostly after a shifter install.

Insert a piece of Velcro tape --- the soft part --- between any two pieces of plastic that rub and squeak. Its nylon, so it wears like iron and will permenantly stops the the squeak.

Yes, there is a quiet but very apparent creak coming from my dash just from normal road vibrations. I pushed all around on the trim to try to see where it was coming from and I was able to stop it by pressing down on the dash itself up by the big center vent.
It seems like it would take a lot of work to get some velcro underneath the dash itself. Much more so than just removing the trim.
Anyone else notice coming from this area? Will the dealer actually attempt to fix it if I take it in, and what are the odds they break something else in the process?

After having the center console squeak / creak worry me to death for 7000 miles, it is now gone and I hope for a long time.
