Squeak coming from dash

There is a squeak coming from my dash - somebody else described it as "a bee buzzing under a cup". To me, it sounds like two pieces of styrofoam rubbing together. Anybody else with this problem? Any quick fixes?

Unfortunately, this is a common problem. Many people have noticed it and discussed it...and some have found resolutions as well. I searched for "dashboard" and found the following threads that may be of interest to you:

Thanks ragingfish! I think one of those links will help me keep my sanity (If I ever had it in the first place!)

I am curious....Did you replace the stock radio by any chance?

Well, I did the "electrical tape" fix - and it worked great. No squeak at all. Total time to fix was about 3 minutes (half of that time spent trying to find the electrical tape in my house).Thanks everybody!
