There is a TSB on it, Bulletin Number: 050859003 CREAK OR POPPING NOISE FROM ROOF NEAR WINDSHIELD/A PILLAR. *TT (see below) but I think that may only apply to earlier models. The most general fix is a bit of strategically applied lithium grease around the pins.
Mine was quiet as a mouse when originally installed, but after a few months it has now gotten the habit of creaking when there has been a temp change and I first start driving the car. Every time I am going to remember to fix it, it quiets down.
Maybe this weekend....
