Cool Seneca “unique” squeak??

Wondering if anyone else has experienced a vinyl on vinyl like squeak in cab. I know..weird. Passenger side of our 2016 Seneca. If I push against side panel at arm rest height it stops. Hubs tried wedging seam area but didn’t help. This was not top of issues to be addressed, obviously, but....annoying just the same. Not much faith in dealer.... Freightliner?? Earplugs??
Thanks!

We have a 37RB with the TV/Fireplace cabinet behind the passenger seat. We have had a the same sounding squeak there since new. I have tried wedging stuff in there, pushing on it and spray dri-lube and it still comes and goes. It is worse in the cold than it is in warmer temps.

Hmmmm. Ours is 36FK with pantry behind passenger seat. Not related.
Squeak comes from the panel where seatbelt bracket is located. Strongly pressing into that panel.... about 15 inches below seatbelt bracket stops the squeak. Unfortunately not a comfortable way to travel.

If I understand this correctly the sound is on the rear piller and pushing on the pillar at arm rest height stops the noise. Pressing on the door doesnt effect the sound. The door latch is about this height but if pressing on the door doesnt effect it that probably is not the issue. I will look at my unit tomorrow to see I notice something that could contribute to this.

I had a squeak above my head that required me too pull the headliner. I then added screws and duramat to eliminate it. Sounds can be a pain to solve especially if they only occur during certain times. My rig is certainly louder driving at 20'f then it is at 80'.

Good luck and post if you solve it.

Our squeak is actually between the tv/fireplace cabinet and the back of the cab filler panel somewhere.
