Snap Crackle Pop

All of a sudden my rock solid Rocky is starting to creak here and there and it's driving me crazy! Maybe because it's getting colder? or the rockflats have reverberated thier way into the crevaces. Should I just turn the stereo up and call it a day or focus even more on the source to try and confront my demons? :impatient

My '06 gets a little rattle in the driver side door area when it's cold out some mornings, then it goes away. I think it's part of the car's personality.

Of course if it was there all the time then I would consider implementing an attitude adjustment.

Colder weather does bring on more rattles in my car. The colder plastic has less give, and tends to shrink enough to move around and rattle/squeak. Also, the tires tend to be stiffer in cold weather (especially runflats) and tend to shake up the car more on typical roads.
