My tailgate creaks as does the driver's window when closed. Anybody managed to stop theirs creaking ?

No creaks on my Avant....
The driver's window does however have 'rattle' when only partially open, very annoying.
O other cars try a 'petroleum based jelly' on the seals. Helps tihng s get along much better........

Petroleum jelly can cause damage to rubber seals, think about the warnings you see on packets of three about vaseline
Use silicone spray ( not WD40) I bought a large can of silicone spray made by 3 in 1 for £2.99 + VAT yesterday when I was at a motorfactors. This can be sprayed liberally on the seals ( after they have been cleaned). This will help the windows move up and down more easily which isn't a bad thing.
the tailgate may need adjusting ( coupe's suffer from it as well) and the rubber may need refitting see a site for coupes which gives good advice:
