Default Creaking Windscreen

HI all,

Has anybody any ideas on this one. In cold weather the windscreen appears to creak or tick, prticularly if you stress the body shell of the car by sticking one wheel up on a kerb or by turning on a slope.

I can only think the is the bond of the windscreen failing

I had this a few weeks ago when the cold spell was here. It was the rear window though. It's stopped now, but it's s bit warmer.
Had me wondering at the time

I have it from new, almost from second month, I believe it's due to uprated suspension plus bars front rear in my car and the place where I always park it that isn't flat but loads more FL and RR wheels thus the chassis flexing.
Although when I park it for some days in a completely flat place as in my village the phenomenon dissapears as the summer does!
