Does this "creaking" appear to be coming from the B pillar area? I've had my R for 10 days now and after driving in the intermitant rain yesterday and today have also noted the same. To me, it appears to eminate from the rubber seal between the front and rear door. Only really been noticable since the rain.

Interested to know if the same thing is apparent on the 3 doors?

Mate's 5dr GTI's creaks came from the felt-like part above the side windows.

No issue with my 3dr so far. I've had it since Jan but have only done 3100kms.

I'm experiencing exactly the same thing although mine seems more apparent with the door trims. I also had another annoying rattle sound which turned out to be my glasses in the overhead compartment vibrating when there was high engine load

My current observation is....

Commodore drivers, particularly the one's who drive at speed through red traffic control lights, and collide head on with unsuspecting road user then bounce gleefully into 10 day old VW Golf R's rendering the useless and less than pretty... SUCK!!!!
