Dash crack, creak and tick over bumps

Guys, i have an '08 MCS that I took delivery of at the end of January. For a few weeks now, i've noticed a crack/creak/tick noise coming from my dash. It sounds like it is coming from the lower area, almost from the center stack. When I put pressure with my hand in various spots, nothing seems to be loose. It only makes this noise over bumps on the road, that too not every bump. Seems to be getting worse.

I have an appointment with the dealer on Monday, but just wanted to know if any of you had any similar problems.

I think it's worth it since there's a SIM, but you never know what you're gonna get!

Thanks, I'd seen that thread and even posted in there previously. Thing is that what was described there is not what I'm experiencing. I've got no creaking or cracking by the windshield...mine sounds like it is in the center stack somewhere.

Sound on mine seems to be emitting from somewhere even lower on the center stack.
