squeaking dash noise....CURED!!!!!
found it ..fixed it !
Parts you will need: torx to take off cowl vent
some drawer /shelf liner rubberish stuff cut 3/4"x2"
1 unbolt your winshield wiper arms and remove
2 untorx four screws holding cowl down
3 remove four black push-in "pegs"
4 remove cowl ( while off you may want to put some "accumat" or other deadener, i use roof fix stuff from lowes or home depot)[IMG][/IMG]
5 once off you will see the culprit of the squeak
[IMG][/IMG]
6 cut your strips of stuff you can use velvet too
[IMG][/IMG]
7 sqeeze tab and pull out of firewall, place strip of stuff over tab and push back in [IMG][/IMG]
[IMG][/IMG]
8 while your there do the other one too....[IMG][/IMG][IMG][/IMG]
9 press in the pegs, put cowl back on torx,and 4 more pegs and you are done !!!! ooopps put wiper arms back on and bolt down.

Just did this tonight and it cured the rattle by about 98%. I should have used a little more material on the 2 feet that stick in the fire wall. This is a huge improvement. I have been listening to this for 9000 miles.

This may be the cure for the rattle I have. It sounds like it comes from behind the dashboard right above the radio. I'll dig into it this weekend.
Thanks for the write-up.

Got another rattle to add and wonder if anyone else has come across it - seems to be from the glove box area but isnt the glovebox itself - Jeep dealer had a look and admit there is one but can't find it (why am I not surprised!) so just said tough and live with it. Anyone else got this?
