creak
I just found this forum today, already read some real intersting stuff!
I have a 2007 XLS that I bought 3 months ago. After about a month, I noticed a creaking sound when I am driving on rough roads, that's pretty much any road here in Montreal. I'm not sure exactly where its comming from, It's somewhere in the front (dash or windsheild). Has anybody else noticed the same thing?
Thanks

RE: creak
I'm not sure if it is the same, but on my XLS there is a slight creak roughly the centre of the windshield/dash area. From what I can tell, the windsheild is separated from the dash by a peice of foam which is stuck to the dash. On rough roads, the windsheild may move slightly differently than the dash and the foam rubs on the clean glass making a creak/squeak noise.
It doesn't happen often and is quiet enough that I have to have everything turned off to hear it. I was going to apply something to the glass todirty it so it doesn't creak/squeak when it moves.

RE: creak
I have the same issue. I hear a slight creaking noise while driving on uneven roads. I believe it's coming from the black plastic piece running along the outside bottom of the windshield rubbing against it. I can hear it when the radio is off and it's quite annoying.

RE: creak
BTW, I have noticed that the noise goes away when the wether is cold. I’ll mention it to my dealer at my next srvice (on Monday) and hope that they have had similar complaints and know what is causing it. I had something similar on my 94 Mazada MX-3, in that case Mazda had a TSB out on it, so the dealer took care of it immediately.

RE: creak
I've had a similar noise that comes and goes. It's my glove box. I have to open it and then shut it again for the noise to go away. It happens sporadically. I think it's because I've got the owners manual still in there and it's quite heavy...or it's just a cheap design.
