Squeak, window, and Bose issues

Just logged my first 1,000 miles in my CS. Overall, it’s a great sports car, and I’m looking forward to a track day with my first Porsche next month.

I do not have much (if any) to complain about. I do have a couple of items that I’d like to get some comments on:

1) Seat side boaster squeaks around my left thigh area…basically when I depress the clutch, the movement will set it off. Amazingly, I’m not too annoyed by it because it comes and goes.
2) One touch up window button on the driver’s side is inconsistent…sometimes it works and sometimes it won’t. I’ve read up on it. It seems some of you have this problem as well. I’ve tried rolling it down all the way, then rolling it back up. After that, one touch down and up will work for a while. It’s a little annoying, but I’m not overly concerned.
3) Grease (white streaks) on the inside face of both windows. Like above, annoying…but not losing sleep over it. Just like to know the cause...
4) This is one that I cannot stand...the Bose CD player sometimes reads “STOP”…and it will not play. Again, it seems like a common problem. Doesn’t appear that there is a good fix. So, I guess I’ll live with it. This has happened twice now in my 2.5 month ownership.

All in all, none of the items above do much to detract from the enjoyment I have behind the wheel of this incredible machine. I hate going to the dealer for some of these small issues…I’ve had some bad experiences with various dealers in the past. My thought is that, if these are the ONLY problems I have with this car…I should be happy. I may address these issues with the dealer just before my warranty runs out. - your thoughts? -

It sounds like you might be aware of the previous topics but just in case:
Oil/Grease on Inside Door Windows (seems like aftermarket tints fair worse).
and see post about re-programming the windows here: Windows won't go up to see if that helps.

Thanks for the links.

I've noticed that the grease is there after rain and washings...I live in Houston, so the combination of humidity and heat appears to exacerbate the problem. It doesn’t really bother me…not enough to want to take my baby to the dealer hacks at least. (sorry, maybe I’ve just had bad experiences. )
