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
Jul 12, 2006 (6:37 am)

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.

Early Brake Pad Problems by raycar

Does anyone know if the early brake pad wear problem was fixed for 2006. I am going to buy a G35 tomorrow and would really appreciate any guidance on this.

Sorry, only have 2500 miles on my 06 Coupe, too early to know if I'll have rapid brake wear. But I can say the tires look like they were just mounted.....so I am hopeful Infiniti made suspension changes to correct the excessive tire wear problems that plagued the earlier models.

All 2006 sedans now have the larger brakes that first appeared on the 2005 rear drive sedans. I understand that this has alleviated the early wear experienced by some (but not all) sedan drivers. For example my '05 G35X with the smaller brakes has gone over 30K miles on original brakes with a mix of city/highway driving.

I think that's an interesting comment. I drove an FX35 for two years before I took on the G35 Coupe. I always thought the brakes on the FX were undersized for the power and weight of the vehicle. Sure enough, I had the front rotors turned or replaced on the FX about every 8k to 9k miles. New front pads every other time. The rear brakes were never a problem. I put 40,000 miles on the FX.
