Default Zenclosure squeaking/creaking against interior

Just recently got one of these Zenclosures, and even if the radio is completely off I can hear it squeaking/creaking coming from the box over bumps. Sounds like it is coming from the sides where it touches the plastic that covers the struts.

This is the first I am hearing of such a problem with these boxes. I could check to make sure it is properly seated. Also see if it's rubbing anywhere. Could be it was not cut just right but doubtful.

That's what I was thinking of doing, just hoping someone else had a similar issue so I knew exactly where to put it

It's really not bad, it should be a simple fix. It's not that loud, I am just a perfectionist.

Have not had a chance to take it for a spin yet to check for the squeaking, but this box slams!!! I'm running a dual voice coil 10" Memphis sub pushed by an Orion Cobolt amp.
