Any fix for the glovebox squeak??

My glovebox has been squeaking like crazy, esp. since I stiffened my PSS-9's and its starting to bother me. It never really did because i had my windows down and radio on, but lately my windows have been up due to rain, and its annoying the hell outta me...
Is it really worth bring it to a dealer as they will not be able to reproduce it or won't fix it, or do they have a fix for it??

I'm sure that's not the answer you were looking for...Try isolating where it's coming from...If you can find it, depending on where it is you could use some spray silcone or wedge a piece black cloth tape in the squeaky gap...Careful where you use silicone...Don't want to get it on any leather that is visible. Good luck.

I have a slight vibration squeak on my steering wheel center. If I put my hand on it it stops...No big deal, especially since it is the only unwanted noise issue I have with the car....

Well just look at it as it's going through puberty. It's not longer cute and from here on in will just grow up a bit and look a bit ragged.

No Evan, the straight pipes are WAY louder. Trust me.. you can't tell from inside the car just how loud it is outside at WOT. There's a bid difference at WOT. The sound goes from effing loud to "ear piercing" if you're in the car that's had the fly by done on

Ok so I guess the louder exhaust is ruled out, and trading yours in for an 01 is probably not an option you will want, thats it for my suggestions!
