Squeaking from dashboard C70

I'd be careful spraying anything down and around if you think you might remove the dash for a permanent repair, as the spray might cause issues with any glue or epoxy sticking to the plastic.

Maybe spirit cleaner or something?
It is essential to clean the parts beforehand anyway or not

Seems like some glues fail to bond to this plastic anyway. That's all I was thinking about.
Yes, I used acetone to prep when I did my dash repairs. 3 or 4 years now and still good.

I don't know how to repair plastic anyway

Are there any tricks to get rid of the noise if the spray doesn't work?

Well I was dealing with an 850, so might be a bit different. As the dash starts to fail, it wants to drop down toward your knees, so I would probably avoid shimming too much around the windshield. I could actually lift up the whole dash from down by the kick panel and see it move. So to get by till I could fix it, I shimmed it between the steering column and the dash with an inflatable bag shim. Not very pretty, but it worked. But if yours is just the face plate, then maybe a spray of glass cleaner will penetrate enough.

Don't spray stuff behind the dash...

I want to spray into the gap between the windshield and the dashboard. But I don't really know what exactly is behind the dashboard. The mounts and something else? but are they reachable? I got an extension that can spray in any direction...
Can I reach anything important through the glove box?
I'm just only hopeful because heat reduces the noise a lot and sometimes makes it disappear completely.

P.s. @chuck

Why ?

Because you're just going to make a mess and not accomplish much.

This is an 850, but this is what's behind the dash.

@Chuk_W

Thats not looking nice without dash

Bought Osixo anti-squeak aerosol, some Krytox stuff.
Is also used in the automotive industry
It's worth a try before I open a big construction site
