Hello
Have owned the car for a bit over a month now and loving every bit of it.
I have however noticed a noise that seems to come and go (query more noticeable during day when car interior is heated up on hot days). As car squeaks and rattles go this particular one is pretty low down on the annoyance scale but I still thought I would ask in case it is something that others have noticed and maybe even had it sorted out. Anyway here goes:
The noise is best described as a high pitched but low volume squeak that is only heard over uneven roads at relatively low ie city speeds. I have localised it to the drivers door and seem to be able to stop it happening by pulling the door inwards by the inner door handle and/or pressing down on the door handle around the switches for the power mirrors. I had a quick look with a T30 driver and the screws holding the handle in place are all really tight. I dont think it is the whole door rubbing inside the door frame ie I think it is somewhere within the door trim.
If anyone has noticed this happening in their cars and even better managed to sort it out it would be very much appreciated.

I know exactly what you are talking about. I still have not found out where it is coming from but it only happens on uneven roads. I tried my best locating the cause but it's either the door or somewhere in the window instrument cluster. I got rid of this by adding a sub in the trunk and just listening to music haha. Good luck.
Thanks. Given that I am RHD and you LHD I think this must eliminate the door and make the mirror/window switches the culprit. I had a quick look just now and there is a triangular bit of trim that clips in/out from the front of the door and it is possible to look inside the front of the door to the switches on the door handle. At a quick look everything seems to be very carefully secured, with wiring harnesses tied up and wrapped with soft foam tape. Will go for a drive with the piece of trim off and see if I can localise the sound any easier.
