Default Obnoxious squeak from passenger side.

Usually only happens when im turning and when the heat is on. Since I had to take the glove box out because of the usual broken latch, I figured I might be able to do something about it because its getting pretty bad.

I'm actually planning on tackling a similar rattle, because of the same initial problem (glovebox)

My plan is to bust out the felt tape, and apply it anywhere I can sense or see rubbing. I thought initially I had solved it after fishing out the magnet from the dash tweeter after it detached, but the noise remained. I can try to take some pictures while I'm in there.

same thing happened to me with the dash tweeter, my grandpa ended up using some of his epoxy to put the magnet back on. did you end up losing a screw from the glove box, I had one fall in the knee bolster and it made an awful rattle.

I think my squeak is coming from a fan, just don't know if I can even get to it going to poke around today.

I have yet to tackle the glove box issue, you never realize how much of a catch-all the glovebox is until you can't get into it. I haven't looked at guides to get to the blower motor in 850s, if it's anything like a lot of cars, it's hidden pretty deep. Hopefully that isn't the case.
