09 noise

Any one else experiencing a squeak/pop noise from your plastic "cowl" pieces that fit around the wiper arms? Mine has been making a noise for the last couple of months every time I hit a bump or the road is the least bit rough. It is really beginning to be annoying. I looked at it and it seems attached properly. The noise seems to come from where the 2 halves touch together/overlap.

update--yea I know no one answered the original post, but I had the noise fixed. Took it to the dealer and told them about it. They said there weren't any service bulletins about it. They took off the cowl plates and put insuulation between them and the "plate" that they sit on/clip to. They said this was the first they had in for that specific noise. They said that there were several complaints about dash noise. They attributed mine to a bad design of the cowl plate arrangement. I have to agree, the old style is a better design.
