It might be a challenge, as there are many places a squeak can originate. It is usually the retaining clips at fault, by being a little loose in their sockets. You first need to determine where the squeak comes from, then remove trim panels as needed until you can access the culprit. The best solution is then to use a small screw driver or needle nose pliers to gently bend the clip's tabs out a little bit. This allows the clip to more tightly seat in its socket. Felt will just eventually wear, and the squeak will likely return. Once the clip has been adjusted, reinstall the trim panels in reverse order. I would also adjust any other clips that appear likely to cause squeaks while I was at it. If needed, I can take a couple of sample clip photos tonight after work for you.
