In Reply to: Re: Rear Strut Brace - Will it help "creaking"? posted by Steve Walsh on October 22, 2000 at 21:26:13:

I've got the folding seats on the coupe, and a bit of baby powder seemed to clean up that plastic to leather sound. One thing I notice, though - every time the passenger door closes and the window automatically adjusts, there's a creak deep in the door when it settles into place. I'm sure it's this same creaking I hear when I corner hard - has anyone else had this problem? I think this is the last major creak to hunt down, just did the rear shock mounts ;)

In my experience, if you have the folding rear seats, that is the easiest place to look for the creaking sound. Usually the latching mechanism, or the leather to leather contact area.

Next, check the rear shock mounts. I upgraded to the JT Designs RSM.
