I have your sanity solution right here..

I decided to make a quick video for anyone that wants to tackle this..
Please read the description first before trying it, I left out a part or two in the video.. :thumbsup:

Finally! I'll pick up the TSB from my dealer and get right to work. I happened to notice this for the first time (only owned the car for 18,000 miles) a few days ago when it was warm...I had heard about it before and knew exactly what it was. I discovered that opening the rear window on either side for ~10 seconds to cool the rear of the car was sufficient to arrest the sound for about an hour until it heated up again (this was on a 7 hour trip). Now I know exactly where to go to fix this problem once and for all!

T-SB-0141-10 relates to the windshield's upper and lower glass retainers, as in T-SB-NV-009-06.

T-SB-0142-08 is basically the same with the rear glass upper retainers addition:

Rear Upper Glass Stoppers
For removal of Rear Upper Glass Stoppers, refer to Step 1 of Upper Windshield Glass Stoppers.

Updated rear glass tick noise TSB's:

Do you have the TSB for the other noises with this chassis?
Something about a spot weld needed??

I watched the video and read TSB. I broke off the tabs as shown. Thanks for the advice - really makes a difference.!!!
One thing I don't understand: "once you break that black click in tab, you must bend the body colored tab that the black tab once passed through (downward) and your done.." Can you explain in which direction to bend the tab: up towards the roof or down towards the seat?

Again - thanks!!

Just bend it away from the glass a bit (towards seat)
Happy (creakless) motoring. :thumbsup:
