Acquired a 'lil mouse in my dashboard yesterday. Need HELP!!!

Yesterday afternoon, I discovered something quite disconcerting. For the first time since owning my 4th gen Max, I have my 1st SQUEAK!!!!

I've read countless threads about many a person having squeaks and rattles and always wondered with +77K miles, why haven't I had any of these problems? It may be due to care? NAAAHH. I think it may be due to the road conditions of where my Max has spent the greater portion of its life...FL, GA, AL and CA. Not many major horrid roads, bumps, potholes, etc.

However, I've gotten the SQUEAK and it drove me crazy!! I found myself beating on the dash. This morning, it was gone. If it returns, how do I get rid of it?

PLEASE HELP?!?

Dont beat your dash, I did that, made it worse. Pinpoint where it's at and stuff cotton or some kind of insulation between the rubbing "sqeaking" parts, worked fine with me.

I'll consider that option if I decide to part it out. As of right now, I want to sell it as a *****, uhm, I mean whole.

Still not thrilled about selling the Max, though. I still love this car!
