Does anyone here it creaking when the car flexes?
It sounds like the leather or vinyl rubbing together, but only when the car flexes.
Just wondering if I'm the only one that has this issue.

does it make this sound when you go over uneven surfaces on the road likea bump or a ditch? I believe mine makes this kind of sound as well but the sound of the squeaky windshield masks it kind of

A squeaky windshield can sound like it's coming from the back sometimes. Also I've had my passenger seat make odd sounds when unoccupied. I'd be surprised if the rear shelf is making noise. Do you have anyone small enough to ride in back and confirm?

No small peeps to test.
I'm pretty sure it's from the shelf. When I back out of my driveway which has a dip since it's a hill and I go off of it in an angle, the body flexes and I hear the leather or vinyl rubbing. It's as if you had that wraps a CD and crumpled it up and kept crumpling it.
I'm just paranoid, nothing showed up that the car was ever hit, I just didn't think I'd hear and creaks in a Porsche so I immediately think something is wrong.

I think this is fairly normal. My front dash makes this sound, usually when first driven. Recently my mechanic took me for a drive to diagnose a suspension problem and commented "you've got the noisy dash ..". He said this is common though he provided no explanation.

is the noisy dash separate from the squeaky windshield i believe these cars have all kinds of funny noises and i have learned to turn up the music and live with them or without them

Noisy dash is definitely a squeaky windshield, very DIY fixable. Noisy parcel shelf is odd, perhaps you can try repositioning it and tightening the fasteners.

I can hear the car creak a bit in the rear when going over driveways at an angle. These cars don't have the stiffest chassis on the planet so I'd say this is pretty normal.
