sorry to resurrect this tired thread again, but i am now convinced that i know the cause of the driver's side door 'creaking/flexing' sound that so many others have experienced. i have noticed the sound only occurs when the windows are up completely and i am driving at low speeds over uneven surfaces. last night i noticed it and while i kept thinking it was actually coming from somewhere inside the door panel, i cracked the window very slightly, so slightly that the open gap wasn't even visible. just enough to separate the window glass from the rubber seals and the sound vanished. i am certain that is the cause of the sound.
thus, it must be the sound of the window rubbing against the rubber seals. so the options are either crack the window ever so slightly at slow, around town speeds to minimize the annoyance, or try and convince the dealer i need all new seals on that side. btw, after i got all the seals and channel replaced on the passenger's side for wind noise, there was no more creaking. the pasadena dealer is the one who said i would 'never get rid of all the noises' and didn't seem willing to take it any further stating that 'thats just what the car does, its chassis flex'. BS I say. The Alhambra dealer seems more interested in customer service/helping.
so the question is, is it worth the hassle with a different dealer to try and get all the seals replaced, or just crack the window and deal with it, or finally, just blow my brains out?
input/thoughts are always appreciated.
