Both the drivers side and passenger side suffer from this creeking... tick tick tick tick tick, noise and it happens at random intervals. The annoying sound does not discriminate between smooth roads or rough roads. It just pops up all the time.
I was told that it had something to do with the springs in the seat belt assembly in the B Pillar. I dunno. The dealership has changed bolts and used tape but the problem has only gotten worse.
The car is due to go in on 11-18-2005 for its 3rd go 'round. Lets hope they get it fixed this time.

I actually have a permanent fix for all of this - let me draft up a DYI w/some photos, but give me a few days - but for me, this solved the problem permanently. This concerns 3 areas:
- The door/window track [There is a new part # that the dealer has so I assume that Infiniti has redesigned the window track specifically for this issue. This is not the same part # of the original window frame installed at the factory]
- The armrest against the door panel
- The door panel against the door itself

I took my 2005 G in for the creaking windows in October - the sound came back. I dropped it off again today for the windows again, and now a creaking clock finisher, as well as the front passenger door panel.
