Default Rattles rattles, creaks, driving me nutso

I realize there have been plenty of threads about rattles and creaks before, but none of them have really helped me..

(A lot of people might be wondering about me selling the XFire, long story, but ended up keeping the XFire to drive around the summer time in MI and I go to school in FL with my CTS-V, I should really post pictures..!)


I've had the XFire for a while and it was great, until I got the (older) CTS-V, man is it quiet (the good interior kind).

When I go into my XFire I really want to chop off my ears. Creaks, rattles. everywhere.

First, it seems like there's a nasty rattle in both of my doors by the large speakers at the bottom, the speakers I checked are tight so they aren't moving, I'm not sure what it is. Sounds like something is rolling around but I can hear it on both doors/speakers...and it only does it on bumpy roads..

Secondly, the whole interior drives me nuts. No matter where I press my finger, I get little squeaks or creeks, and they are noticeable when driving on our MI roads (bumpy bumpy bumpy)..

Anyone have any fixes? I fixed the trunk rattling issue by re-adjusting the bumpers and the electrical tape but the whole console/doors still leave me nuts....

I also need to fix the wind noise at around 30-50 mph, it's awful.

Any suggestions or anyone else with creaks/squeaks/rattles and they fixed them, just post here.. the information would be useful to other people as well i'm sure even if it doesn't help me
