Tried to fix an annoying squeak coming from the top of the dash.
I had the fascia off and took the bus for a 10 minute drive going over the types of bumps which make the dash squeak. No squeak so must be from the fascia rubbing at the top connection back to the tray thingy on top of the dash.
I re fitted the fascia and adjusted the torx screws until the squeak went away. Was 90% better so job done for now but then took the vehicle to Bunnings and the bloody squeak materialised!!
I can stop it temporarily while driving by pushing the top of the dash (at the connection point) down onto the top end of the fascia so I know where its coming from. Might need to put some felt in there between the AC vents and the fascia.

Next weekend I'll partially remove the dash fascia and grab a torx screwdriver, a knife and some rubber and slowly drive around the local back streets. I need to be rolling just above idle in 3rd to get a good vibration through the car or drive on cobbles (usually in the back lanes around Melbourne north suburbs). I'm sure if the police pull me over I'll have some explaining to do!!
I did the above last weekend and know the squeak goes with the dash off or really lose. It was a mater of tightening the fixings until the squeak reappeared.

Planned to replace the cracked windscreen but ended up taking the dash out instead.
Some wiring to tidy, some rattles to chase, and a couple of forward facing air vents might make it worthwhile.

After our desert trip we have an oil leak and a couple of new rattles.
One annoying rattle turned out to be the guard around the fuel filter, down behind the driver's side rear wheel. When screwed tight it could still rattle.
Best solution would be a rubber strip glued in there. As a temporary fix we have wrapped several layers of insulation tape in place. Rattle stopped.
