Squeak in Dash, FREAKING annoying

I have a squeak in the center part of my dash, the piece that has the radio and climate control on it. It squeaks when I drive, but if I put a little pressure on it with my hand it stops squeaking. Anyone have any ideas on how to shut that darn thing up? PS I have Stillen CF kit as well but I don't think that's the culprit but it might be.

Spray a bit of Armorall or Black Magic in the cracks. Your squeak, if it's plastic parts rubbing will dissappear.

But Brian, seriously, take out that part of the dash. Look on the dash pieces themselves and see if there is any of that small black paper stuff lining the edges of the trim pieces. If there isn't, that would be the culprit. Also, try placing a small flat piece of rubber in between the metal brackets of the radio cluster and the dash frame, that worked on mine....
