2008 squeaky noise in rear windshield area by loulou13

I have had my 2008 Corolla about 1 1/2 years. Recently there has been a squeaky noise in the area of the rear windshield. It gets much worse when the weather is hot. I took it in to Toyota and they could not find anything the first go round. I have apt to take back in. Has anyone had similar problem?

The noise sounds like it is around the glass area when traveling over rough roads.
Would suspension be that loud inside car?

It might be if you have a car seat installed using the latch system, it could be that making the noise.

Problem solved. When the factory installes windshields, it use hard plastic clips to guide it into place. Apparently these clips are left in the car and can cause squeaking. Toyota removed mine and now I am squeak free.

check engine light, transmission problem? by emmettrose1962

My check engine light went on during a long trip. Shortly thereafter my car began extremely hard shifting from a stop, like having a car behind me tap my rear bumper (auto trans). This happens when pulling from complete stop or very slow speed and accelerating. Also happens in the first two or three shift changes. Once I'm at speed the car runs well, no problems, but the hard shifting and engine light trouble me.Will go to dealer first opportunity. Any suggestions?

Have the computer read for error codes, that will tell you the general area of the vehicle systems that the problem is in.
 
Many auto parts chains will read the error codes for free, then search the internet on that error code.
 
Dealership or quality auto repair shop can obviously do all of that for you, and then repair/replace whatever things are bad until it is running correctly again. Get this problem checked out quickly, to avoid additional damage (depending what in your engine or transmission is currently bad right now).
