Squeak in dash area

I noticed somewhere in my dash area a squeak, early this year, and now that we have been having cool mornings, it's come back. Im not sure what could be causing it, maybe a bad rubber somewhere? it squeaks faster and louder as I speed up but I stop hearing it around 25mph whether I am slowing down or driving at that speed, anyone have any ideas?

I was getting my headliner redone by an interior guy and had rattle and he showed me it was the "A pillar" plastic at the bottom against the front of the dash. now no squeeks

you have take off the plastic on the a-pillar. i think he just pulled it up and out but not sure.. others may know.
then he put some one sided sticky foam around the bottom and pushed it in again. this kept plastic from rubbing plastic.

Re: Squeak in dash area

it may be elsewhere but it sounded like it was coming from my dash.. best to have someone rise with you and put their ear around looking for the location 1st
