Hi All,

My 2011 Z435i is developing a lot of creaks and squeaks that seem to be coming from the junction of the top and body behind the seats. I imagine a dry lubricant would take care of the problem, but don't know if that's so, or what to use. All suggestions welcome! Happy Holidays!!
 
Had the same problem, dealer tightened the latching mechanism and that solved it....good luck
 
This was my problem, sounded like plastic 'Tupperware' beaker bouncing around on rear shelf.
Problem fixed. The rear deck was banging down in the corners. The rear shelf sits on plastic lips on left and right. Either BMW or previous owner had stuck on under the shelf some thin sticky backed felt , which had moved. So replaced with some sticky backed foam pads (from the £1 shelf in Tesco), used to prevent hi-fi, etc from scratching surfaces.
