Rattles
Brass,
I too have the weatherflectors, and had the same annoying rattle on my passenger side. I removed the weather strippping and dynamatted the door frame (inside where the weatherstripping goes) and the rattle is gone.
The rear creak was mostly coming from underneath the seat belt spools that are mounted to the roof. Dynamatted underneath them and the creaking is much better. There's a little bit left in the "d" pillar somewhere.
I've pretty much eliminated all of mine- been working on them since February.

1st Year
Yeah, 1st year issues I guess. The engine and tranny are so damn sweet, though. Much better than all of the domestics I have owned over the years.
You can get 100 sq ft of b-quiet for like $100 on ebay. I have one and 1/3 rolls left and I've completely done all 4 doors, the roof, and various rattle chasing. Best deal out there that I've seen.

Well....
There is a helpful rattle thread on titantalk.com about the Armada as well- you might do a search for "Armada rattles" or something.
If you guys would like, we can start a new thread here and track our rattles along with the fixes. I still have a bazillion of them, but most are just when I hit bumps. I wish I could get them all....for now I'll just crank the tunes.

I hope they do issue a TSB. My doors are rattling, but it's not the panel- it's the doors themselves. I put some dynamat behind the weatherstripping on my passenger side door and the rattle went away. I've read another thread where they replaced a guy's weatherstripping and it solved a rattle problem as well. I think the stripping eventually flattens out enough to allow the door to rattle against the body.
If you hear any more about the upcoming TSB please post. Thanks!

I feel ya
Well guys,
I certainly can empathize with you on the rattles. I let Nissan have it on this past 2nd JD Power survey I sent in. We should be getting much more for a $40k vehicle.
Hang in there. Maybe the '06 models will have all this worked out. It's really a shame because the powertrain is the bomb- just these little problems can ruin an ownership experience.

I had one come back yesterday, and put some felt tape between the weatherstripping that is on the door and the body (the flat, rounded set that meets the body, but is on the door itself). That killed it.
This is a little different than the other stripping fix- you might try it.

I might have found the source of your rattle. My passenger side rattle came back (front) the other day. I pulled off the door panel, and if you roll the window down a little bit toward the back bottom of the glass you'll see where there's a clamp. I pushed a little bit on the clamp and sure enough, mine had some play. I popped some very small pieces of the felt (velcro) where the play was, and the rattle is gone again.
Also there's a TSB out for the rattle that goes away when you roll the window down a bit.
Try it out and see.
