Chirping from the cabover area just above the windshield

Post by jeffcarp »

I am experiencing a chirping type squeak that occurs regularly with any normal, repetitive road vibrations that would cause the cabover to vibrate. This does not require a large, abrupt jarring from a pothole or pavement joint, etc. This is just normal road vibrations.

I've attached a photo for reference. I've found that if I apply fairly significant force with my arm/hand as shown in the photo (pushing up to the sky) that the chirping goes away. If I remove the pressure it immediately comes back.

Anyone have any ideas on what I might check and/or tighten?
