Squeaks and groans

I went on a hunting trip in Nov and while on some back roads My truck was doing a lot of squeaking and groaning. The noise seemed to be coming from below the bottom outside corners of the windshield. Or the top back end of the front fenders. Are there some bolts that I can tighten up in there somewhere? thanks. BCKID

I had noises in that area when I first got my truck. I found that the fender bolts were loose. I pushed the top of the fender in and it moved 1/8 to 1/4 in. When I drove on a bumpy road the fender moved making a nasty squeak.

S/g

Thanks, Will give it a look. Are they the bolts in the E/R side or from the open door looking forward? BCKID

The window mechanisms in my door were rattling real bad. I took off the door panels and found loose rivets. I just took some blue RTV and gummed them up real good and now the truck is nice and quiet. It isn't what you asked for but I figured I'd toss it in.
