Found the Cricket Sound

I finally found what was causing the cricket type squeak in the cockpit. It is the rear view mirror. When I squeeze the mirror top and bottom just to the right of center the squeak goes away. It went away for the last 10 miles home today but if it comes back at least I can show the tech what it is and get a new mirror.
