Hi all,

I purchased a 2020 grandland x Sri nav in July 24, so this is my first winter with it. Yesterday morning and this evening as soon as I start driving I can hear a creaky squeaking noise, similar to two fizzy drink bottles rubbing together. It's present while the car is moving. And sounds like it's coming from either the offside front or offside rear door.
I've checked the door card, seals hinges and door alignment. I wind the windows in both doors down and up several times and eventually the noise will go.
I should add this is from cold start and when the car is fully warmed it seems to have disappeared.
Has anyone else experienced similar? And if so how did you rectify it?

had the same, i think its from the door handles that creak when you pull on them. don't notice it when the weathers not so cold, so personally not too concerned.

but I like your explanation of two fizzy drink bottles running to together, that's a perfect analogy

Yeah once the car has warmed up it disappears! It's very odd.

Ha yes everyone knows what that sounds like 😀
