    Now that I've owned my coupe for a month or so, I've started tackling some of the minor squeaks coming from the dash. Most have been found pretty quickly and alleviated. One remains however (okay, more than one but the others don't bother me much...yet)--it's in the drivers door somewhere and emits a "chirping" sound when I hit a rough spot on the road. Is this probably just the retaining clips that hold the door panel on? If I elbow the door, I get the same result. Didn't want to tear the panel off before I asked for some more opinions. It comes from the very rear of the door panel. Some lithium grease perhaps on the clips to take care of this?

    Thanks guys.

    Turned out to just be the door panel contacting the metal door frame towards the back of the door. A strategically wedged piece of folded paper (to increase thickness) took care of it. I'll replace with some black foam when I get a chance.

    Thanks.
