Creaking interior panels

Thanks for all the suggestions guys. I had some stuff that the makers of WD-40 came up with recently in their "Specialist" line of products called Dry Lube. It's a PTFE spray that goes on wet but dries in seconds and works (as the name describes) as a dry lubricant. I figured this might be a good option since it doesn't need to be wet for it to work so drying out should not affect it. I went panel by panel throughout the whole interior, lightly spraying the product in between the joints of every panel I could identify and anywhere there was plastic to plastic contact, wiping off the excess immediately. I then went for a drive and the difference is truly amazing! Creaks are virtually all gone! I hope this cure lasts but even if I have to repeat it now and then it only takes a few minutes to do.

I used a nice, thin, adhesive backed closed-cell foam along all of the edges of the rear panels.  I never had a squeak in 10 years after I did the install.  Unfortunately, I can not find the same roll I picked up 10 years ago from an Ace/Tru-Value hardware down in Orange County and I am in need of it.
