Acribb I have exact the same issue.. My car is at the dealer now to fit new tires and a new windshield. It's taking them longer then expected so I still have my loaner.
Tomorrow in the afternoon I'll pick it up and get back on this and I hope I can be positive!

Do you have the standard 18" rims and runflat tires that came with the sport package? What was the build date of your car? 10/03?

Oh, ok, I see from your profile that you do in fact have the same rims as mine. I'll have to check the tires to see if they are the same as well.
As for your door squeaks - I too have the same problem. Rattle, rattle, rattle, on the driver's door worst, I can hear slight rattles from the other doors. I also now hear a 'squeak' from my dash, even when not going over rough terrain.
Did this ever get resolved?
What was the resolution? The carabflo stuff?
All this is annoying from such a beautiful and expensive car.

They used special tape on my car (the newest solution). Unfortunately this is absolutely no solution. It doesn't help anything. The only thing that helps is lowering my window a little.
If I get my car back tomorrow and I still have the problem I will buy the carbaflo and put it on the car myself.
I don't have the dashboard problem but do have the squicky seat. Maybe the sound is located in your seat???

The 'squeak' is definitely coming from the dash right in front of me, where the black vinyl dash meets the instrument cluster plastic. If I press on the dash, I can stop the 'squeak' until I let go. Again, you will probably agree with me when I say these problems are RIDICULOUS on such a high-end car like this. I am going to insist that a mechanic ride with me so I can let him hear the squeaks (since I have already brought it in once and their solution was to PLEDGE the doors, yes the wood waxing product), and the SHAKING.
ARGGGGHHH.
I hope everything is taken care of for you finally.
Maybe by tomorrow, you'll have the car you should have had from Day 1.
