Interior Rattles / Noises

Scorp81 · 02-20-2022, 12:16 PM

Hello

Anyone experience the following?

1) Windows creaking when rolled up (all 4 doors)

2) Rattle / creaking rear side panels (where the seatbelt rest on) - both left and right side.

Dealer cleaned both window trim and leather side panels - but didn't correct the issue.

3) Random resistor type "click" noise coming from the passenger foot well area. Sounds like a relay click.

I hear loud creak sounds coming from near my back windshield. Even the smallest bumps create annoying creaks that come from the back of the car

I haven't taken to the dealership but I might soon :/

Nope, interior on mine is rock solid, no creaks from anywhere.

Passenger side windows tends to be dry seals and most vehicles suffer from this from time to time https://www.bimmerfest.com/threads/w...riving.149633/

Thanks cukeuk. There were a lot of replies in that post you provided. I think I am even more confused, lol. BMW was telling me that there was an update to the rubber door seals (not for pillarless doors) ...go figure. All 4 doors creak non-stop, damn annoying. So, to sum it up, do not use lubricants with silicone, but rather tefflon...is what I got from it. The problem is, the creaking is coming from where the top of the window meets the rubber seal. There was an interesting post around the door window motors being a cause, but dunno. Will have to ask the dealer (again) at some point.

cukeuk · 02-27-2022, 03:26 PM

OK, I would suggest you rub some soap on the seals, I might be wrong but I think this will not harm the seals, and see if the creaking goes away...

My windows creep when I’m backing out of the driveway. Driveway had a little drop down at the end.

Creep, isn't that a contradiction 😉

Did not take it to the dealer because it went away. Knock on wood it doesn't come back because it seemed to happen during winter months only.

Perhaps this will help you to become a bit more "expert"

There is a bridge somewhere. Something is stopping it from going up and down smoothly. If you are uncomfortable with that sound you should get it change completely.. Happened to me once..

My Sunroof creaks. I had it "repaired" twice at the dealer. The last time they changed the roller blind that goes under the roof. That noise disappeared for a while. It has now returned. Waiting for a courtesy car and it goes back in for another repair.
