Mine has always done this and I've never liked it.
However, I recently had the door cards off and before I put the handles back together I sprayed the insides with a little silicone lubricant spray which seems to have fixed it. Hope it lasts.
Did the same to mine, it only lasted for a few weeks, till the silicone dried up and they're squeaking again.
Still no luck with the rattles...gotta find a willing garage to take a look at this and not tell me it's normal because of the roads we have here (awful ones that's for sure).
Today i had a metal clunk when driving home. Looked under the car but didn't saw anything. Drove straight to the garage. Searching and searching but nothing to find in the engine bay.
So drove 2 times with the mechanic and stated that the sound was coming from the back.
When he put the rear axle on a jack stand, he could see with a mirror that the left spring end was broken off!
This piece was laying inside of the wishbone and made the noise hahaha!
I don't know if you asked about the triangle door handles, but on mine they also squeek when grabbing them.
Im still busy with the panoramic roof rattle. When the roof is open there is no rattle. So i suspect the window is touching the moveable sunscreen. Going to de-install this sunscreen and look if this takes the rattle away, it's annoying me big time.
I'm coming with an update. It seems that the culprit are the bushings and most of the rubber grommets around the car. It's normal, and the stiff suspension amplifies the sound.
I might have been a bit too paranoid about it...
The issue i have now: I can't undo that tail light screw. Tried pulling and twisting, pushing the tail light while I twist the screw...nothing. i'm thinking of cutting the screw, though it's a very strange position and pliers won't to the trick. I already bought a new screw from the dealer, but if the tail light's inner thread is toast and not the screw's, then i'm in big trouble.
Ok, so here's an update. I cut the screw holding the tailight an found out that the plastic piece with the thread for the screw was ripped of. I used some poxipol and glued it back, but it won't hold. Found a used tailight for 18 quid, mint condition, will arrive on friday...
