Default Creaky Crossfire?

So I just bought my SRT-6 Saturday and I absolutely love it. However, this car makes more creaks and noises from its interior than I have ever heard before.
I think one of the main noises is coming from the hatch. Then the door panels and console all make noise when any pressure is put on them. Is this normal for you all too, or is it just mine?

Try adjusting the 2 rubber "bump stops" on the hatch as they quite often rattle. Also I found that where the Safety Triangle and First Aid kit fir there should be 2 plastic rivets, mine were missing and when I fitted them all my rattlers disappeared (it took me 8 months to track that one down!!!). If they are missing you will see 2 holes in the plastic panel and can get the parts from the Dealership.

The rattles used to drive me mad, now they are gone, It's just brilliant every day now. I used to be embarrassed to take mates out in it as it rattled so much and made it sound cheaply made.

Mine is quiet for the most part. Occasionally (not everyday) the hatch will creak going into a steep driveway. No real rattles though.

Adjust the hatch bump stops!

I've got a passenger side rattle that only occurs if NO ONE is sitting in the passenger side. I'm thinking it may be seat-belt related (maybe the belt is hitting the plastic?).

I tried to sit on the passenger side while my wife drove, and un-did the seatbelt temporarily...still no sound. It seems to come from the door panel, but I'm not sure why having a passenger there would change it.

As for the rest of the car - pretty quiet considering how stiff the suspension is! I have the typical hatch rattle that I will get remedied at the dealer. Otherwise, it's good.

I had to glue some felt to the seatbelt plastic that hits the seat. And if you don't want to do that, wipe some leather conditioner between the two, that would fix my squeak for a while until the conditioner wore off.

the door panels are the worst designed part of the crossfire...

i had my door panels replaced under warranty 3 times for excessive creaks... i then added dyno mat under the panels. this helped quite a bit.

The bump-stops are on either side of the hatch and have a simple bolt through them which you can loosen to move/adjust the stops... Its simple enough, but I'm just letting the dealer take care of it for me... good luck!
