creaks in rear pass door
I was test driving a 04x and the car has a creak on the passanger side. At first i thought maybe the seat belt was flapping around because it sounded like that. I confirmed that it wasn't and that it was inside the door panel itself.
being aware of the common reg problems, i tested to window to make sure it was fully working up and down. auto up and down works fine. After i finish my drive i went to look into the panel, i stated to bang around the panel and nothing really rattled, but when i push the interior panel the creak comes from where the top of the panel meets the glass.
Now all the g35x i drove were pretty much interior noise free except this one. My question is that is this a foreshadowing of the regulator about to fail? Also has anyone ever had similiar problems? i'm thinking if i do buy the car to pull off the panel and put some foam on it. Or maybe i'll find something lodged in there causing it.

reading the problems..it might sound like it. I'm assuming the longer bolts are banging the glass or something similiar to that. I don't know it that is 100% my problem but it is a great way to start it.

^ Hey you found my post! 
Yeah if you follow the steps I stated in the post, that should get rid of the creaking noise in the rear door panels. The noise completely went away after I installed the shorter regulator bolts, and I especially noticed the difference after taking the car on a 1,000-mile road trip during Labor Day weekend.
