Rubbing noise around the doors
For the past 4 months, my X3 has been in and out of the shop for loud rubbing noises around the doors. The noises are only present when it is warm and humid. Obviously, something is expanding. However, in December, all of the rubber seals and gaskets around the doors were replaced (tried lubrication of the original seals and gaskets prior to the replacement). For a month, I heard nothing. Over the past week, we had temps in the 60's with rain (funny, because it is 8 degrees out as I type, gotta love Ohio Valley weather). The noises came back. Does anyone have any experiences with the same issues? The best example of the noise is the sound of a rubber bumper between a boat and a dock or other boat. It's just a rubber on rubber noise. My local dealer said they had never had an issue this severe. They said that they have seen it on the 6 series, but not on the X3.
