Default Anyone find a solution for squeking headliner?

I have all sorts or creeking and squeking coming from my headliner and I can't find a way to stop it. I stuffed some pillowcase fill between the roof and the headliner and that didn't do any good (may have made it worse). This problem is driving me up the wall.

Has anyone found a way to solve this?

BSR's come from a number of issues - I have one between the OH console and the S/R opening. More than likely a wire harness that is loose.

Another explantation is glue making contact with the sheet metal. I also think my OHC has weak attachment points, didn't look yet to see if there was a screw holding it in place.

If turning the radio up doesn't work, a trip to the dealer can solve the issue. More than likely they will pull the HL down and have a look under warranty.

I put double sided tape under the sunroof trim. Seemed to help.

Yeah, I have a sunroof. The sunroof trim is sitting in my backseat and it seemed to help a little, but the squeeking is still there......and it's embarassing to have trim pieces in the back seat of a $30,000+ car to get rid of noises

That's for sure - put it back together and take it to the dealer.

I want to say "Link" from NAIOA, occasionally here, had a squeak that was cured by adding a clip to the middle-rear of the headliner. He posted info on it somewhere. Let me go look for it...

EDIT: He said he took it into the dealer and they said the bracket was loose. They tightened it up and all was well. He didn't go into specifics.
