Default Rear window creaking

i'm trying to find a diy to fix the rear window creaking/squeaking. it only happens when it's warm inside the car. it seems like it might be the clips holding the rear window in place but i'm not sure. i've tried searching the forum and can't find anything. can anyone help? it's driving me insane

Yeah what ^ he said, there is a TSB for it but not sure if it will be covered for you.

yeah i'm wayyy out of warranty so i won't be covered. someone mentioned in another thread that there's a DIY but i can't find it. i'm hoping to do it myself or if i can't, at least have a diagram to show someone how to do it. i can't find the pdf for the TSB either.

THANKS!

now... is this headliner removal really as confusing as it looks???

INTERIOR_ ROOF HEADLINING_ ....pdf

and i just checked my VIN and it seems to be "not affected" according to the TSIB..... is it possible they are wrong?
because i def have a rear window creak, and when i get someone to press and hold the back glass it stops..
