dash squeak with video, please help...
Since new, I've had a squeak coming from my dash that I've never been able to isolate. Well, I finally found the spot after years of mystery, but don't know how to get in there or even what exactly is creating the noise.
The location is inside the glovebox, along the front, bottom, right edge, where it meets the lower, exterior dash piece. The squeak happens at all speeds and in all weather conditions. I'd have to guess it's metal on metal, hence the squeak sound and not a rattle sound.
In the video, I am lightly pounding on the lower part of the opened glovebox to get the squeak sounds.

Has anyone experienced this noise? Any ideas on how or where I can get to the spot? I'd even pay the dealer to help get this quiet. It's been an eight year trip trying to figure this one out.
Thanks for any info or advice.

There is a support bar behind the dash, it might be that or one of the covers rubbing around. There are metal clips on the lower kicker cover that go in to the lower airbag case which is also metal, that's where my noise was, I used pieces of a T-shirt in between all the panels I removed and now it's quiet.

Also, what was involved removing those pieces to get inside there?
Thanks!

Lots to take in here. I am reading all and saving this. Thank you all and I also hope to hear more if there's more info. If I can fix this squeak, the interior will completely silent which is amazing for a 2008 car.
