After over a year of ownership and about 17,000 miles, I have found that the doors are creaking whenever a decent amount of pressure is applied to them. Say someone just leans on the door to rest their arms. Creak. Certainly when cleaning it, it also creaks. I'm kind of a noise freak, but it seemed a lot more solid when I first got it.

Anyone else have this problem?

I purchased my 98' GS in June of 2000'...It had 29000 miles at the time and NO creaking! Now, at 39000 miles Ive just begun to have creaking...It is from the door panel on the drivers side and is noticable...It generally only occurs when I apply a liitle pressure with my left arm...Does anyony have a remedy for this? I suspect it is coming from where the Vinyl/leather parts of the door panel overlap one another....Tiny
