Squeak after replacing the headlight assembly...

[jamesewells]

I just replaced my headlight assemblies on my new(to me) 2007 SR5. On the passenger side, there is a squeak coming from the top, on the outside edge, right past where the rubber ends. Has anyone else experienced this and have a suggestion for a fix? I'm tempted to put some rubber gasket between the light and the fender? I didn't replace the screw that's hard to remove, if that makes a difference. The drivers side is fine. Thanks!

Is it only when the vehicle hit bumps? Maybe go to hardware store and get some get one of those packages of little plastic dots used on bottom of furniture to slide it around. Peal and stick as a bump stop?

It has a slight movement when I press on it, and I can hear it over bumps. So does the drivers side, but it doesn't squeak. I'm going to work with it tomorrow. It may not be seated properly. Thanks!

Check seating and check the screws are tight as well.

Not sure of the exact cause, but I took it apart and re-assembled it and the squeak was gone. BTW, when I did this previously, the squeak was still there. Thanks!
