I have some noise coming from the trunk. I believe it comes from the plastic on the door around the window. It can be the different pieces touching or it can be the plastic against the metal.

Anybody has a similar issue? Any fix?

I believe it is not more the putting some felt at the right place, but have no idea on how to remove those plastic covers around the rear window.....

tips are (of course) very welcome.....

Had such a similar noise, found out it was the plastic boot cover which wasn't placed tightly in its lock position, tried to check that? If not post pic of areas for cannot quite get which part you are referring.

X4guy,

Thanks for the tip....It is related to the boot cover, that I am sure of. How did you get the cover in it's lock position, Simply by pushing it in? Will post pictures of the suspected area tomorrow or so.

If boot cover there is a clasp which locks in, tap your cover for rattle if you hear it just push it in. If no change then it's something else.

Common issue with BMW. Happened to mine in the winter, but it goes away during summer. I hope it never comes back.

That is not it, if I tab it all is firmly in place, I rather hear it when driving through a pothole..... Sounds like the metal is pushed against the plastic..... So If I would be able to get the plastic cover off, I could put felt or some foam tape where the plastic could push against the metal.....

I am a bit afraid of just prying it off, I do not want any damage....

Remove the plastic boot cover and drive around without it you will get a feeling where noise is coming from. cesaroctavio_80 other thread could be useful, just be sure you have isolated the noise

X4guy, thanks for the lightning fast answer!

That is exactly what I want to do, just looking how to get it off without damaging it, I am no specialist in this.

You just put something between the metal and the plastic .... are there screws or clips I need to be careful with?

Why not take to dealer under warranty? Easiest way if not keen to meddle with car.
