Creaking Sound

Discussion of Infiniti's amazing (and underrated) sport-luxury crossovers, the EX35 and EX37. For 2014, the EX series will be renamed QX50, in line with Ininfiit's new naming conventions.

With the warmer weather, my car has started to make a creaking noise. It sounds like it is coming from the dash or around the steering wheel. I originally thought it was the dash rubbing on the windshield but the dash doesn't touch the windshield at all. I also thought it was the hood over the instrument cluster rubbing with the dash but that wasn't it either. Anybody have an idea of what the noise is?

Is it similar to what's been reported here?

If the noise doesn't go away after washing the car, then the cause is probably from something else.

Thanks NJGuy. It was the cowl rubbing the windshield. I got some silicon spray and sprayed the lower windshield and let it run down between the cowl and the windshield and now the noise is gone. Thank goodness!
