Default squeaky dash problems

Ok, I know this has been brought up before. How many of you out there have had problems with there dash squeaking? I am so fed up with it now. It has squeaked from the first day i bought it. I have had it in to a Ford dealership four times. All they do it stuff the A piller and the dash with insulation and felt, which helps the problem for a few months, only to return later. Both sides of the dash make noise. It happens more when the dash is cool. Once it hits the sun, it quiets up. If i drive all day in 50 degree weather and its cloudy, it will make noise all day. I believe most of noise is coming from where the A piller plastic covers join the dash. I'm having the car look out this Monday and i 'm giving them two options:
1.) Replace the dash or console or
2.) buy the lemon back from me.
I can't believe it has to come down to this, over a stupid noisy dash. I didn't pay $26000 for my car to sound like a 30 year oldford escort.

Anyone everjust dynomat the dash? I'm considering doing this and maybe a few other places in the car where I get some unwanted rattles. In the end its a Mustang and not a lincolnso I don't mind a bit of roughness around the edges, but also this car isn't two years old so I don't expect this kinda noise yet.

Ain't no ****. Sometimes I hear that same thing trying to escape my air conditioner. **** it with the Pipes singing the MAC AXLEBACK TUNE and the C.D. ****ing roaring I really don't give a flying ****. Oops I forget the CAI buzzing up a storm , sounds like victory to me.

Yeah. i know this no Lincoln but it should not squeak like that. I have driven many cars over the years, new and used and i never heard a thing out of any of them. . For the most part, i can drive around with my music playing a never know it was making noise. Then there are those other times when i'm trying to have conversation with someone and all you can hear is that dang squeaking. I think it is an embarrsement to own a car that make that kind of noise inside. I guess i can keep stuffing insulation back there to dampen it up every 3 months, because that is what Ford is been doing for the last year. I don't know if throwing on a new dash would work or not. I know pulling the dash and the A piller every 3 months to stuff insulation in there isn't working.

**** it it's your car and if it's under warranty stay on their asses. Maybe you should call Ford in Michigan or go to another dealer. Yeah isn't it correct if you get them on the same technicality three timethey have to refund youyour money? [:@][&:]

It seems like to me those squeeks go away after the car is warmed up.....
