Default Squeak in Cabin

i have the most annoying squeak in the cabin. It seems more noticable on rough roads but oddly enough only on the smaller bumps (one tire - a bit of a side to side motion). For the life of me i cannot find it. I can't seem to really tell if it is coming from the front or rear of the cabin. Any ideas??? If I could fix this is would be Christmas miracle!

Do you have sunglasses in the holder? When I store my sunglasses in the holder it sounds like a rattle is coming from the passenger side dash.

I have multiple squeaks inside. One from pass. side dash, the other is from the rear seat somewhere. Both squeaks only happen when the truck is cold.

The clear plastic over the gauge cluster squeaks on mine. I just wedged a matchbook in there. No more squeak but I can't see the "P" for park anymore. Next time you hear it push on that and see if it stops.

Pop your hood and inspect the black styrofoam pieces that are fitted under/around the hood hinge(s) where they go under the wiper cowl. They are held in place by one push pin in the front. You can pull that push pin out and remove them. My right side one was rubbing so bad as I drove that I actully thought it was something from the middle of the dash top inside the truck. I sprayed mine down with some white lithium spray and completely wiped it all over them and put them back, some have put tape over the rough edges and then put them back in. That styrofoam edge rubs against the metal of the firewall up under the wiper cowl and creates a scratching noise heard across the entire dash from the inside. (does it screech like mice or slight bump on a turkey call?) Truely aggrivating until I found out that that was the source of my squeeking. Give it a try.

Squeaks and rattles drive me absolutely nuts. I developed one a few weeks ago and made sure every screw I could get to was tight. It seemed to have fixed it for now.

I have the same squeak I think. I am pretty sure mine is coming from the rear of the cab. Much much worse when it is cold and only over small bumps (heaves in the road it is really bad). Looking for it for the past several weeks.
