I had the same problem. This awful creak coming from what seemed like the back seat. I got someone to drive and sat in the back. I could not find where it was coming from. It almost sounded like it was the rear window creaking. Anyway after furthur investigation I pulled down the overhead lining a little and discovered that it is this little piece of metal with white plastic things clipped into it stuck onto the window with sticky pad. If I pushed on the metal it would stop creaking. When I got home a I sprayed some wd-40 on the sticky pad and also put vaseline around it, then pushed the metal piece up hard with a screwdriver. Since then it hasn't creaked again. This is on the drivers side in the back.

Now I just have to get my windshield that leaks water fixed!

This is where mine rattles & squeaks. You might want to check these spots too. Oh, and I think the FAQ mentions some other areas to check.

The rear defroster connector cover on the rear glass was loose.
The BOSE badge on speaker grill was loose and would rattle with bass.
