Default Dash squeak??? Please read!!

So I have had this issue with my dash squeaking for a while and decided to figure out whats going on. Seems to be a common issue with some of the Rams out there. Turns out the retainer clips that hold the cover along the windshield was the culprit. Its the cover that runs the width of the dash and just below the windshield and houses the two dash speakers (some models). I pried the cover up and there are a series of clips which press into some fabric wrapped retainers. Replace the fabric as it tends to wear out and reassemble. The squeak I had was loud and drove me nuts!! Worked for me and it may work for you.

The squeak I had sounded like two pieces of metal rubbing together and it was there all the time while driving.
