    I have had a creaking sound which seems to come from the middle of the dash when going down an incline or up hill in a driveway.It is worse in the AM.
    Dealer has had the dash open and tightened some screws in the front end with minor improvement.
    I have had this noise since I took delivery in 6-05.
    Anyone else?
    TIA

    Most likely, it's just the leather rubbing where it meets the window something along those lines.

    Get some silicone spray and spray it in and around the cracks, etc. Wipe off any excess. That usually will cure it. I had the same problem on my 355 and 360. It's pretty common around the seat area in the 360. That used to drive me nuts, until I tracked it down and sprayed a little silicone on things.

    My 355 was really bad around the dash area. The leather from the dash pod and the dash board would rub and make all sorts of noise. I took it apart to try to fix it, but it didn't help. Finally the silicone trick worked. You have to re-spray it maybe once or twice a year.

    I get this sound in my '05 Spider. I'm surprised to hear about it in a coupe as well.
