2013 Cadillac ATS 4dr Sedan

321-horsepower 3.6L V6 6-speed shiftable automatic AWD

44650 mi Rattle behind gauge cluster. Anti squeak foam added and reduced rattling, but not completely eliminated. No longer is an often occurrence. Trim fabric along interior window seal was folded up on both front doors. Replaced with new foam trim piece on each side. Arm rest on driver and passenger side would make a slight squeak when pushed on. Anti squeak foam added and issue resolved. When opening nav display to reveal hidden compartment, there's a quick squeak noise as it initially starts to open. Tried lubricating hinges and problem not resolved. Tinted windows have vertical lines sliced into them from being rolled up and down. Not sure of the cause, but inside the window rollers in the door, there must be some dust or dirt that is causing the tint to be scratched vertically. Driver seat rubbing on the center console due to lack of clearance (occurred when moving around in seat and pushing the right side of the leather seat against the console). Anti-squeak tape added between these two surfaces and squeaking is gone.
