Does anyone else have a creaking noise coming from the rear passenger side of the car?

[DFW YELLOW SPLASH]

I also hear a creaking noise from the right rear seat area of my car. The noise occurs whenever I'm driving at low speeds, regardless of the road conditions. I suspect the noise is related to the rear interior trim panel(just above the armrest), as I can hear the same creak when I press on the panel with my hand. I took the car to the dealership and went for a ride with the repair engineer. He offered to fix the issue by disassembling different parts of the car to investigate, which would be covered under warranty. However, as a fellow sports car enthusiast, he warned me that removing plastic trims might lead to additional noises. Given this, I decided to tolerate the noise for now until I have more time to track down its exact source.

PS: It doesn't sound as loud as in the video, but it is definitely annoying when I try to listen to not-so-loud music and have my windows closed

I have this same noise.

Did you ever resolve?

Any resolution?

I had a little creaking at low speeds over bumps. Lubricating the rear seat hinges with some synthetic spray lube fixed it.

I had the same issue and today I had time to check this out and found it was in fact the rear passenger seat hinges. For anyone else who has the same issue just fold down the rear seat, go for a ride and see if the noise disappears, mine did and after lubrication the noise is gone completely with the seat back up. Thanks a lot for the tip.

Yes, just lubricated the seat hinges and the noise disappeared.

Tried lubing the hinges and taping the latch with Tesa tape.
still have the creaking sound.
Seems it is behind the side panel.

Just removed the side panel and replaced all the panel clips.
Sound still there…..

Well….got tired of trying to figure out the noise issue

Took it into local Ford service.

Turns out the weld between the parcel shelf and the D Pillar is missing.
This is causing the noise to happen as the body of the car flexes And those two pieces of metal rub.

Looks like I will be without my at for a month or so.

Hey, did you receive any official document with description of this issue from Ford service? I'm asking as I'm having the same issue probably, it would speed up the identification of the issue in the dealership I guess.

Hey, did you get your car back and was it fixed by fixing the weld thingy? Please let me know its driving me crazy this sound

I had a similar sound on higher speeds. Turned out the bolts holding the rear wing were not tightened fully. When you open the trunk there are two small bolts and behind the rubber plug one bigger. Retightened them and the sound is gone.
