Squeeks in the interior

Squeeks from the interior seem to coming from the doors and under the dash when I hit bumps in road. Brought it to Hendrick Acura and they replaced engine mount. The squeek came back after couple of days (the dealer left a few rubber "string-like" cut outs in my seat with my reciept when I picked it up from having new tranny put in at 46K). Anyone else have this annoying squeek from the interior (besides the sunroof)? How to fix?
help!

Anyone else?? there are thousands of people who have sqeaks and rattles in this car. Mine are horrible, they are not loud, but I can hear a lot of interior clicking and ticking all the times.

mine are off and on, mostly all of the time when I'm at slower speeds going over bumps in road. Do you know how to fix? I am thinking WD-40 spray on door hinges maybe or .......any suggestions?

I had what I thought was an annoying dash rattle, but it turned out that the door seals need to be lubricated

That's what the tech adviser told me at least. All I know is that the door seals looked real nice and the rattle/squeek was gone

I've heard of using glycerine to soften/rejuninate rubber on old cars before, but never thought it would really help on a new car.

I'm not saying it is the the door seals for sure, just offering another suggestion for what it might be.

That worked for me (the dealer did it under warrenty), but that doesn't mean it'll work for you.

It could also be coming from the rear deck or near the glovebox (other people have reported problems there).

I only had one coming from the rear deck. PAA lubed it up (this is a known problem) and the squeak is no more.
