2007 R56 Justa dash/interior squeak. Where is it?

My 2007 Justa has developed a loud squeak in the interior. I have tried pushing on many things in the interior while driving but have yet to find it. It occurs mostly on rough roads. It seems to occur less when the temperature is warmer. Any ideas where to look? Please don't say "turn up the radio". Although that's hilarious, I really want to fix this.

Gotta take the dash pad out and put some veloco/fabric tape on the plastic parts that rub against the dash mount. I have the same problem and will be taking my dash out this week to address the squeeks.

Are you sure it's in the dash? I had a similar squeak, and it turned out to be the rear sway bar bushings.

Well my squeak is definitely come from the dash area. This is a pretty common occurrence with the plastic bits in these cars. I can push on the dash as its going over the rough bumps and the squeak is more pronounced. So i feel I have it isolated.

For me I’m definitely not sure it’s coming from the dash. I haven’t found anything I can push on that makes a difference in the noise, but it really does sound like it’s inside
