Using the idea from the previous posts, I have had a go at fixing the creaking you get from the windscreen when going over bumpy roads. The fix has worked so I here is a simple how to:

There are plastic cowls that rest directly on the glass at the bottom of the windscreen. These cowls move about on the glass when the car body flexes over bumpy roads and make the creaking noise. Grit and dirt gets trapped between the glass and the plastic making the noise worse.

When you lift up the cowl with a small screwdriver you will be able to see the scratches on the glass – this is the bit that can be isolated by sticking PVC tape to the glass. The fix is invisible once the excess tape is trimmed off with a Stanley knife.

Some thin stick on rubber spacers @ 1mm thick at 150mm intervals also lifts the cowl off the glass (orange rectangles on pics).

This fixed one of the main sources of creaking noises from my car.
