Knocking noise when roof is up
As per the subject title, I get a slight noise behind the driver seat from the folding hard top when the roof is up. Has anyone else experienced this?
The car has a BMW approved Used warranty from purchase a month ago. Would they look at this?
Thanks for any help,
Ian

You could try placing a few self small adhesive felt pads on the rear deck where the rear screen section sits, a few mambers have done this with success. Trial and error really. Hope that's of some help.

Unlike everything else in the car, it's something you get free with the car.

Thanks, does anyone have a photo of where to place these on the deck?
