2009 IS250 Rear Window Creaks
The rear window/windshield has started making a creaking noise, even on fairly smooth roads, not to mention bumpy ones. Does anyone else have this problem? I only have about 2200 miles on the car and this is going to drive me crazy! I've ridden in the backseat and I'm almost certain its coming from the window itself, but I cant find where exactly. Please help!

I get it from my sunroof. Dealer told me that there was nothing wrong, just dirt. I try to wipe some wd40 on the rubber seal every few weeks. It make the creaking stop temporarily.

I have the same problem on my 08 IS250. Brought to dealer first time, couldn't duplicate cuz it only rattles on a very hot day after the car sat in the sun for long time. Happened again yesterday, brought it in immediately...finally they admit there's rattle. Scheduled for Monday to come in to fix, let see if they can fix it.

I had the dealership remove the factory clips that they thought were the cause of the creaking noise, which they reluctantly acknowledged they could hear during a ride along with a tech. Unfortunately, it didn't fix the problem and now my back seat dome light isn't seated properly b/c they had to remove the headliner to access the clips. Here we go again. Let me know about your dealership experience and if they fixed it.

I have another appointment tomorrow morning for a tech to ride along again. I hope they admit to hearing it, the tech was hesitant to admit hearing it the first time when it was clearly audible.

***UPDATE***
Just got my car back, dealer claimed that it's fixed and the problem is "body seam had poor fit, tech found there was interference in the passenger c-pillar then adjusted the seam clearance to eliminate the noise". Direct quote on the invoice. Doesn't really make sense to me.
Drive it for 1/2 hr w/o hearing any noise. Will see if it stays that way for the next couple of days

Yeah, I'll say take it back again. Yours is an 2009, it should NOT rattle at all. Good luck dude
