Cabinet squeak

Hi Ron!

Yes, precisely, Ron.  They held tight for about 9 months.  Now, with a twist of the fan you can hear them pop between the threads of the screw (or one screw).  I chose against machine screws and went with sheet metal screws.  Unfortunately, it made no difference in the squeak.  We swung by PC last summer when I was DETERMINED to solve this issue, and I took about a half dozen pictures related to the front cabinets as notes for the project. Let me see if I am able to successfully downsize the images to here...

Feel free to move these accordingly Ron...

A few more.  Some of these are the Sprinter and others the Ford.  They're not identical, but very close.

Hi.  I want to get back to the group about what I found with my squeak.  After removing the headliner, I found a screw which appears to not have been originally tightened.  I believe this is responsible for the sound of metal popping up and down a a thread of a screw (what I originally thought was a stripped screw).  700 miles later, all has been quiet - yet I do need to give Murphy and his law a bit of room here.   The screw which was the issue is indicated by the red arrow.  The green arrows are the screws that I ran down through the cabinet, similar to Ron's initial idea.

I hope this helps someone.
