Instrument binnacle squeak

[carks]

Hello everyone, I noticed a noise coming from the instrument binnacle. It is the portion that is immediately above the steering column. I had the dealer look at it once, and they fixed it. For about 200 miles, now the noise is back. Have to return to the dealer again.
Has anyone else noticed this? It sounds like styrofoam rubbing, a squeaking sound that is quite annoying. I can halt the sound if I hold onto the plastic panel above the steering tunnel, near where the fabric that hides the internals over the steering column attaches. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

If it is a panel to panel squeak, I’ve found that a quick spray of Armor All into the panel seams lubricates the seam and stops the squeaking.

Yup, happened to mine. Dealear replaced the plastic cloth/fabric & fixed it.

Thanks Atruro_spain, I will let the dealer know about your experience.
It's strange how temperature dependent it is. At it's worse when cooling of the cabin on a hot day. Be well everyone.

Just started noticing this. Really annoying and thanks for posting.

Mine had that squeak plus a steering shaft squeak on cold days. I could stop it by pushing down on the steering wheel. Fixed that one by removing the small storage compartment left of the wheel, and sprayed WD40 through the opening onto the shaft at the firewall. Immediately stopped the squeak.

Thanks guys, appreciate the input. Will let you know how the dealer handles this.
