Squeaks and creaks in headliner 04

I found a terrific low mileage 04 TL at a dealership. When I went to pick it the next day after being "prepped and detailed" I noticed that the windshield had a small crack in it that wasn't there before. The dealer said he'd fix it or replace it. He wound up doing the latter.

Well, I picked the car up today and when I drove it home I noticed creaks and squeaks coming from the headliner between the windshield and the sunroof. They weren't there before or I wouldn't've purchased the vehicle. I immediately called the dealer about it. He said to give it a day and to call back if they continued.

So, where are they coming from if they weren't there before? My first thought is that in removing the old windshield they loosened something. Or perhaps they didn't use the right windshield or didn't seat it correctly. Any ideas and/or suggestions?

Can anybody help?
thanks.

TLs are know for the little squeaks noises. It is just up to you to try to locate them and get it fixed.

so...

So, is it worth it to take it back to the dealer and have them reinstall the windshield or is it a different issue altogether?
