Booming noise fixed?

I read a TSR somewhere that the booming noise is caused by something loose in the headliner and that this is a known problem. Nissan has a fix for it. They basically just screw something down and booming goes away. Bottomline, Nissan knows about this and should be able to fix right away.

Now if al could just figure out where the window/controls rattles and squeaks are coming from, that would be great.

When I first bought the Armada in Nov 2003, I was plagued by a rattle/squeak from the overhead console - coming from between the vents and the stereo controls above the second row. Over the course of six months we found out that the noise was most prevalent at temps below 50 degrees.

Took it in three times to have it adjusted and the final time (April 04) they packed it with sound deadening, etc and the problem went away. Well it seems that with the return of cold weather (this morning was the first with temps below 50), the noise is back. Agh!

Gotta take the truck in for the 'booming noise' headliner fix, so I'll put this on the dealers plate at the same time.

Any good suggestions out there on other solutions?

Popping noise

I know the popping noise well. I've spent 3 months trying to get rid of it.
I've Dynamatted the Sheet out of my door as well, retightened all screws, and trimmed away all extra plastic. Did not help at all.
The popping noise seems to be coming from near the window/door lock controls.
Mine seems to be when the window is closed all the way tight. If I tap real quick on the window switch, the noise goes away.

At this point, I'm trying to figure out how the power window brackets are bolted in and when the window is closed tight, where are the pressure points. Something is putting stress on something near the controls causing the popping noise.

If anyone does make progress, let us know.
