I hate creeks too, they get you car all wet and sh*t

creak > creek

Roll down your windows, or turn up your radio

bump.

The responses so far are funny, but I'm actually having the exact same problem. I took it in to the service department, they told me they "couldn't replicate the problem" and did nothing. When I got into the car again, I had them sit in the passenger seat and told them they were crazy if they didn't hear it. He said he could but joked that I should just turn the music up. A Nissan employee told me that.......

This CAN'T be the solution...

Anyone resolve this problem or know specifically what's causing the noise?

I have a funny story. I heard this on and off buzzing sound when i was driving home from work today and i was like wtf are you kidding me. Then i looked in the rear view mirror and it was a bee giving his last struggle. I really have no clue how that bee got in my car, its been like 60F here for the past like 2 weeks

Sounds like going by the dealer is really your only option

I figured it out!!! the sound is coming from the bar that pops up and down respectively when the moon roof goes up or down. I used a cleaner / armorall style product on it and that was a big no no because when it is down there is pressure on it and it made this little creaking sound....all i did was clean it with windex real throughly and bammmmm no more creak

Cool. I'll try that. Thanks. After two unsuccessful trips to two different dealers, it's gonna have to be a DIY job.

No Ideas but everyone keep us posted. These damn noises are driving me nuts and with winter coming, there is going to be more quiet rides since the windows won't be down.

hahah this happened to me during the summer.so i kept an eye on it until i parked and tried grabbing it with some paper i had and finally got it out of my car safely (it was hiding in the crevice back there for like 5minutes) then my friend wanted to piss me off so he started chasing it pretending to stomp it out

My dealer traced the sound back to the front right drain for the sunroof...i dont know how that was creaking but it was he added a bunch of new foam and everything is silent now.

There are two other reported noises from other forums. 1) Noise from something that came loose right beneath the headliner above the passenger side vanity mirror.2) Noise from the wiper cowl on the passenger side.
