congrats Houston GS.... I'll make a note and mention when I go in for my next service visit... keep us updated.

now, if I can only figure out why my driver side door makes sounds over rough roads (only when the tech doesn't drive).

Default check the A pillar too

This is at least ruling out...I had a similar rattle for quite some time. I always thought it was the dash/instrument gauge cover. When I would push on the dash I could repeat the creak.

What i didn't realize was that when I pushed on the dash, it moved towards the windshield and made the noise at the a-pillar. Easy fix to pop off the a-pillar cover and lube/cover the plastic tab with rubber bicycle tubing and replace. This plastic tab rubs against plastic..making the creaking noise.

Wink POPS AND CREAKS !!!

Have you checked the center two vents.... I took them out and that helped a baunched.. The money shot was the black plastic moldings around the sunroof(interior).. Last but not least, check the inside roof lining because that popped like popcorn in my gs400... Firmly push the head-lining back into the clips of the roof with both hands...FUNNY, the poping echos and may sound like it's from the windshield, but from an entirely different place!!! GOOD LUCK CJJ!!!!
