You just have to keep feeling around until you find the spot where some kind of pressure stops the squeak. Just a word of caution, I have found that sometimes the sound is actually coming from somewhere other than where it seems. Sounds are often difficult to localize.

I just thought I would share experiences of my own.

I was convinced the plastic cover on the rear stoplight on the rear deck was vibrating. It drove me crazy. I would get out and push on it or ask my son to push it and it would stop, but then I finally realized that the sound was actually coming from the headliner. I thought it was coming from the back of the headliner, but it was actually coming from the area of the headliner that was right at the edge of the sunroof. I finally fixed it by injecting expanding foam into the headliner with a large hypodermic needle. There is no more vibration.

Another time I was sure there was a sound coming from my dash, but it turned out to be the vertical piece of burl wood that surrounds the radio. I fixed it by adding a small thin piece of foam under the wood trim.

These cars are quiet, if you are not blasting the stereo, so those small sounds can be annoying. I notice them when I have someone else in the car and I am not playing a CD or the radio. I hate it when I think someone else will notice any noise in my car. They never seem to notice, however, because I suppose my car is much quieter than most cars that they are accustomed to.

Right now I have a small squeak that I am pretty sure is coming from the lower portion of the rear seat. I am sure I’ll get to that one too.

I think it might be like always going back to that same bad relationship with an ex girlfriend.
You feel you love them too much, or you are just too stupid to know any better.
