I just sent my second 62s in for the squeaking problem, this time garmin replaced it with a 62st.
First post... but I figured I'd relay my experience with the "squeak." I bought a 62st from Cabela's... it squeaked (more like plastic on plastic) horribly. There is definitely a weakness or flimsiness in the plastic. I will return that unit. Picked up a 62s from Bass Pro after testing it out and verifying that it did not "squeak." Having had both (a bad one and a good one), I can say there is definitely a marked difference in the soundness of the construction. The 62s I tested and bought was rock solid. In the "squeaky" unit, it's almost like the plastic is weakened, or something that is supposed to add support is missing. This is on the top plastic piece on the middle of either side of the screen. Sure seems like a manufacturing defect. It will be interesting to see how this plays out.
FYI:
"Squeaky" 62st serial number: 21G000128
Rock solid 62s (no problems whatsoever) serial number: 21F001363
