Passenger side A-pillar squeak

Passenger side A-pillar squeak
Help if you can, I read all the other threads....did not find what I need. I'm not sure I need to get the a-pillar off, or what to do once I do.
Ever since the dealer replaced my fuse panel, I've noticed a rattle/squeak coming from what appears to be the base of the a-pillar, near the lower speaker, where the a-pillar and dash meet, passenger side. I thought it might be the right side a/c vent rubbing the door panel, and I placed some dynamat there, no change. Maybe it's felt beading that goes between glass and dash, but if anyone's been down this road, let me know some tricks I can try. I don't think the dealer work may have altered anything north of the glove box or kick panel area below, so it's odd.
It's an annoyance, almost always there at speed, even low speed, and pressure on the a/c vent or top corner of dash will stop it. It's not the a/c vent rubbing against the door panel, protected it and it kept going. Any step by step would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Try here... maybe 2/3 of the way down.

The pillar is a real pain to get back in, btw. I'd take it back to the dealer and have them fix it.
