found a significant source of squeaks/creaks/rattles!
Well today when repairing my window regulator for the upteenth time I discovered what MUST be the source of a lot of these. On the back of the front door panels, at the bottom, the cavity part of the plastic door/map pockets are designed such that they snap into place...onto about 20 little brackets. Every one of these brackets can produces a plastic on plastic squeak/creak with the perfect frequency vibration or if the door panel is flexed at all. To eliminate the issue entirely, just hit each bracket with a little silicone spray. Completely eliminates the noises. Also the frame of the inside pull handle does the same thing against the interior where it meets the door card. A little silicone in that seam does wonders. You guys may already know this but I am constantly chasing down these things. I just really enjoy a vibration free ride now I need to dismantle the front seat and find the weight-shift, round the corner squeaks. : )

Weight shift and around corner squeaks bushings or rubber parts. Push down hard and bounce each corner. It's how I usually find bad shocks and struts.

I'm the same way. Squeaks and rattles bother me to no end and I fixate on the sound the whole time I drive. Glad to know I'm not the only one.
