Water leaking into the tail lamp assembly. Dealer said the rear trim needed to be replaced, but we declined. Just living with it. 
62000 mi Driver's door gasket was whistling at highway speed. Able to fix it by putting some household backer rod into a weak spot of the door seal trailing the driver's window. Another squeak coming from same area that seems to be rubbing, I think there is a TSB on this being a metal issue but it's not annoying enough yet.
