I bought premier Tahoe on Monday. I’ve noticed a creaking sound coming from above the 2nd row passenger bucket seat. Tonight I had my 8 year old trying to find it while driving home and we found that if he pushed on the roof the sound stopped. This is with the sunroof closed and sunshade open. I haven’t tried with sunshade closed yet. I tried pushing on roof once we got home to see if I can make the sound and I do hear creak/squeak when I push and release. I will monitor and take in later this month but curious if others have this or if I am just lucky...

My headliner makes the same noise. It's intermittent and at random spots. I'm going to have them look at it when i get my oil changed.
If I have music on I don’t really hear it but do want it fixed. I will also have them look at it the next time it goes in. I have to bring in later in the month for a small dent repair.

I have a similar sound on mine, but I have not yet tried to trace it down. I simply turn up the volume on my audio system, and I can no longer hear the sound.

I have been tapping around my headliner. it is almost like some clips are missing in some spots and there is metal on metal/ hard plastic. I actually notice it right above driver side. when I push up I can recreate. I cannot recreate on the passenger when I push up on it.
Mine is coming from passenger side back right behind the back of sunroof...or at least that is what my 8 year old thought last night...I haven’t ridden back there yet to listen. Will continue to monitor. Please share if anyone has solution and I will do the same.
Ha ha. I will do the same.

I have the same annoying sounds since day 1! I've found that adding foam (Pelican case foam) in between the headliner and the pano roof frame helps considerably. I shoved the foam pieces right where those plastic connectors are located. To me, it seems the plastic creak right where they touch the alluminum frame. (plastic to metal).
It truly pisses me off that I must find work around for annoying problems and now I have the water sloshing sound to troubleshoot. Dealer could not fix the creaking sounds, so foam it is!
I'd like to add that having driven my Yukon for 5k miles now, it is very cheaply made. I see having many issues down the rode. My goal is to keep it for 100k miles and get out of it. However, if I continue to have constant gremlins then its gone at end of factory warranty. It is a great family vehicle, but I am definitely worried about reliability.

if your dealer can't/wont fix the squeak, or the water sloshing open a case with gm, and at worst find a different dealer. They need to fix it, don't let up on them.
