Sometimes having the cure is worst than the disease when the dr. is incompetent. I had some stuff done and it ended up being worst than when I got back. I have a rattle that started when I went in for window adjustment. 3 attempts later, still there. fixed it with sound deadening and diligent placement of the wiring.

Bought a tube of white lithium grease and applied liberally to every spring, joint, metal to metal, plastic to metal and saw significant reduction in squeak and chattering. Not completely gone but more tolerable. Turning up the radio eliminates everthing

OP, I had a terrible squeak in my 2010 that I bought used and lived with a terrible squeak that sounds exactly like you describe since I had no confidence the dealer could fix it.

After living with it for a year I finally took it in and complained under warranty. They had to order something and I had to bring it back, but it is totally fixed. (note that it still have the various noises I learned to expect from the three convertibles I've owned previously). The atrocious squeak is gone.

Wish I had specifics of what they did, but the invoice for the repair doesn't show what they did and I didn't question them deeply on what they did. Base case, a decent dealer can fix nagging squeaks. To be honest, I didn't think it was going to be fixed when I drove off, but it was gone and has been gone for over three months.
