Tighten ALL the screws.
A squirt of Lanox will help too.

also, are you sure its coming from there??? my handbrake button vibrates now and then and you could SWEAR it was coming from the passengers side firewall area... but all i need to do is wriggle the button and it goes away =)

yeah pretty sure its coming from the roll bar thingo. it only happens wen body is flexing, or under load. very annoying on 4wd tracs.
what is lanox?

Wow... you only have 1 squeek?

I got about 6 or 7.

By 'roll bar thingo' do you mean an actual roll bar or the soft top support hoop?

the main arch. not the thin hoop that supports rear of soft top.
The main roll bar.

do you have the windscreen on the car?

do you have the pieces of the bar that run from the windscreen to the b-pillar?

if yes - perhaps it is the body flexing a bit. try tightening up all of the screws that hold these bars in place. Don't forget the hidden ones on the inside of the b-pillar end.

Lanox is Inox with Lanolin added.
Get it at any auto parts store or hardware.
