Ice build up causing creaking noises?

I have an '09 sedan...any other owners (sedan or coupe) notice a lot of creaking noises from the trunk/rear glass area after it rains and the temp drops below freezing? I've seen ice build up in the trunk well area under these conditions and my assumption is that the ice build up is what's causing the annoying (but temporary) creaking noises. It just amazes me that Inifiniti didn't design the trunk well area to take this into account to prevent standing water to build up in the well. GRRRRRR

I don't think the G is any worse than any other car I've ever owned........we had a freezing rain event this last week and all three cars I own creaked until the water melted...and then dried. I did not notice anything specific about the G...perhaps there was so much ice I could not identify any particular location where the noise was pronounced.

"Good" to hear that it's not just my imagination. The thing is that the last two cars I owned were an 05 G35 6mt and an 06 BMW M3 and both made it through freezing rain w/o the same "problems" I'm experiencing w/ the 09 G37. In the grand scheme of things though, not a huge deal...just another excuse to turn up the BOSE system.
