I've had this a few times on XC90's - they look okay but the adhesive has broken down between the metal insert and the rubber and hence the creaking and knocking.
The main issue here is most pattern parts are sh*te. This is one of the many times where genuine Volvo is the way forward. I fitted some on my own XC90 a few years ago and they only lasted 15-20k.
