Creaks in ceiling
I have a Q7 TDI and it has developed a creaking sound in the ceiling somewhere around the ceiling console which happens when you go over bumps. Very annoying. Pushing the ceiling with your hand stops it if you hit the right spot.
Now, I had a minor rear-end a month ago (don't you all hate it when you buy a new car and you get rear-ended a month later by a fat cell phone yapping woman). Damage on the outside was minimal (minor scuff on the bumper) however they did replace the impact bar and parts of the hitch, however the body shop swore up and down that the geometry of the car was not affected (it is a supposedly very high end body shop that repairs Aston Martin, Bentley, etc). The problem is that I am not sure whether the creaking started before or after the accident, and I am not sure if it really matters.
Main question: is that something that can be fixed. The creaking is quite annoying.

I have the sunroof and I am hearing the noise. I have realized that if the back part of the sunroof is tilted up then the noise disappears. Have an appointment for the dealer to check it next week.
Is this common?

Yes, it is very common, in fact there is a TSB on it. The dealer will probably just apply a little grease/lube to the gaskets where the two sunroofs meet. It is those hard rubber gaskets rubbing together that seem to make this noise as the "Q" travels down the road

The first time, they tried to apply silicone to the rails and seal but that made no difference. The second time, they applied some felt tape between the headliner and the roof and the noise is mostly gone now. It's still noticeable but at least 75% less. The noise appears to come from the roof but looking at the fix, it apparently is the headliner.
