g35xman -- I also have a 2004 G35x and am experiencing the SAME creaking. It coming from the rear window on the passenger side...and potentially from a few other places as well. Its TORTURE to listen to, so I turn up my stereo so I cannot hear it.
 
Please let me know if you have gotten any sort of fix for that yet. Its driving me freaking nuts....

I hope you have more success than I've had in getting this fixed. I have 05 G that has had this almost from the beginning - predominately from right front and left rear passenger windows. I've had it to the dealer 3 times without any long-term resolution. Seems like they lubricate the window channel, etc. and send me home again. Tired of running it in repeatedly only to have it returned without problem fixed. I think the issue is more with the chrome trim piece as I can replicate sound by pushing on it. I believe there has been a service bulletin for this. It really detracts from what I had hoped would be a good ownership experience. Lot's of Honda/Acura and Toyota/Lexus experience without the creaks and rattles. Would not be too smart for me to get out at 8500 miles but agree that it is torture! Kind of amazing to me given all of the R&D that goes into these cars!

HID lenses dirty by vpking1

I just got the G35x and looked at the headlights at night and noticed that plastic headlamp covers were dirty, almost like a greasy susbstance. I tried to clean them when I realized it was on the inside. Seems odd for a brand new car that has never had the HID's replaced. Is there any chance that rain or moisture could have gotten inside the sealed system.

The car is a 2004.5 that I bought in May 2005
been on the road barely a year.
 
Infiniti says someone will contact me with 24-48 hours,
this was last Thursday, Still NO ONE has called me.
I called yesterday morning at 8am, and there like someone will be in touch today, STILL NO ONE, can someone say the WORST CUSTOMER SERVICE.
 
So in case I didnt clarify, when the Body shop baked the paint on the car, BOTH DOORS have glued in Intrusion Beams and BOTH DOORS THE GLUE MELTED, BEWARE if anyone ever needs any painting, u cannot bake this car even though that is the ONLY way paint will CURE. The problem is when the GLUE MELTS the body panels warp and the GLUE leaves MARKS and makes ur door WAVY. What a nightmare and NO ONE will call me back, if someone from infiniti is reading this WAKE UP your losing CUSTOMERS!

MAN ALIVE! I know! I am completely empathetic with you. I swear, the only thing comforting me right now is knowing that there are at least a few of you out there experiencing the same horrendous noises that I am. It's like a hangnail, always there, reminding you that you paid $36k for a freaking car that sounds like a baby rattle. Unbelievable.
 
I have tried using silicon spray and spraying it inside all the window casings and then rubbing it around with a cloth. It works for about 1 hour. Then the sounds return. I can also replicate it by pushing on the window or the door. Also, it creaks a little when I pull the door towards me while it's shut. But, as soon as I crack the windows a hair, the creaking stops. But, of course, with the wind rushing in, you cannot drive like that for long.
 
I took it to the dealer for that specific problem 3 times, also with them assuring me it was fixed. Nope. I think they actually made it worse - but maybe that's just because I am focusing on the noise like it's my job.

I believe you are experiencing the creak/rattle for which there is a TSB. It involves pulling out the window molding and inserting a felt strip in there. This makes the window seal tighter to the door frame and stops the noise. There was a rather complete writeup on this in an earlier post with pictures and directions. Good luck.

esfoad...is the write-up that you speak of posted in the same thread as this current conversation?
 
I tried looking at your previous posts (clicking on your name and couldn't find it)...any hints on where it might be exactly? (I don't want you to spend time looking for it, as you have-potentially- been very helpful already)..but a finger pointed in the right direciton would be an immense help.
Thanks!

Premature Brake Wear by osumatt32

I recently purchase a 2003 G35 with 15k miles. Now at 18k miles, I heard a squealing from my rear brakes. I took the car in to get serviced and was told that my back brakes were shot and that front pad and rotors were gone also. I looked at the service records for the car and see that the front pads and rotor were already change at 11,700 miles.
After reading up a lot about this online, I've heard all about the brake problems, but 6300 miles for a set of pads and rotors is insane. I've called CustomerAffairs, but they blew me off. I'm now trying to find out if I can get the dealership to do anything about it.
Has anyone found a solution to this problem? Even now if the dealer fixes my problem, can I really keep this car if I'm going to have to change the pads and rotors every 6-10k miles?? I know a lot of you have this problem, so I'd like to hear what you've done about it. Thanks.

I think this is a common problem. I had it on two coupes. It can be cleaned (mine was on the outside) but I don't recall how I did it other than just being stubborn about it.
 
Roll (and....it comes back)
