Small Squeek from center console..

Anyone else notice over even slightly bumpy roads the center area (around the radio), has a squeek like plastic on plastic noise? Anyone have a cure for it (besides turning up the radio)??

Take out the mouse in the center console.

Sorry I couldn't resist, I really have no idea what would cause that.

I have a similar (slight) noise which comes and goes - and is definitely more pronounced when the weather is cold.
Now, we have nice weather and I hardly ever hear it.
I'll do some stereo work that will require disassembly of the center console soon, and will try to take care of this.

Squeeks on mine too. It sounds like its two rubber panels rubbing together. Kinda like they are two separate panels that are too close together than when the body flexes or something, it squeeks. It gets annoying when it goes on all day too.

I used to have a squeak that came from the shift boot. Are you sure it's not that. It was the shift boot material rubbing together when the car was in gear. Once I treated it with 303 Protectant, the squeak went almost entirely away.

I got that, too. I also have a rattle around the moon roof area. My dealer is replacing the headliner today. I hope that will fix it.

As for the console, it only happens on certain road surface and it does not bother me too much.

Same thing here, but only in very hot days.
