Rear door/sill/trim creaking??? anyone have this....

got 20k on my 15 e63 and had the car 1 year. i get this very annoying creaking sound from the passenger rear door area whenver going over a speed bump or curve while turning slightly. i told the dealer about it on last a1 service just done and they said they cant hear it or identify it. of course the minute i drive out of the service bay and turn right you hear it immediately.

anyone have this? rear door seems to close fine, not loose and am not getting any water leaks etc so door trim seems to be intact.

not the worst thing but just annoying and i have to assume not normal for a 2 year old 100k amg?? even my 03 c32 with 120k miles doesnt make such noises and rides quiet.

thx for any clues....

Dont worry your in the same boat , I thought the same thing ,there is a lot more road noise and a little more raw than a regular car it’s like they designed it to creak more so it doesn’t feel to luxurious and make it feel sporty as well . You might have to put someone in the back and go down a bumpy road to pin point it , have them listen and push around on some panels , I sometimes feel like gutting the interior and dyna mat the whole car lol

I've got a similar issue coming from my passenger rear door (or door frame?) when slowly going through dips / gutters mid-way through a 90deg turn. In this way, the car is twisting (front to back and left to right) and I think it's the cause of my "creak."

The sound doesn't ever come from the driver side - just the passenger side so I've concluded something is out of alignment back there. If I could address it simply and accurately, I'd do it.

No pano roof. Just the sun roof. The sound is definitely coming from rear door on driver side. Any bump when driven over especially when turning the creaking happens. BUT no noise on the rear right passenger side door when doing the same thing.

Glad to se se a few responses here!!! We will figure this out!!
