I don't think a crackling sound best describes the noise caused by the strut brace. Usually when someone complains about a crackling sound it's from the upper door seals.

I took my car in for service for the same thing and this is how they fixed it.
Did they managed to fix it to your satisfaction?

Yes they did, the service advisor took it for a spin and he recognized it right away as the strut bar. He tightened it up and no more creaking.

Humm this thread looks familiar... updating or bumping the old one not good enough?

You absolutly right about the strut making a cracking sound by the windshield or top of dashboard. I had the same issue, my delaer changed the deffective bolts and re-torque them to original specification and that annoying cracking sound is GONE.
