Thanks for the advice. I'm gonna try what u said. but the car is at the dealer again. I just had the service-B done and they messed up my headlight washer. now instead of spray of water to the headlights, I get a fountain of water from my headlight washer - enough to wash the whole car. plus I also had the brake pads changed because it started sweaking, but the squeaking got worse after they changed the pads. so as U said - I think I found another stupid one!!!
