Hello all,
Maybe it's seasonal, because I didn't notice as much in the hot mid-Atlantic summer, but this fall I started noticing a LOT of noise in my 2022 M3 when going over bumps and torquing the car (from speed bumps, driveways, deceleration, acceleration). These noises come almost certainly from where the glass of the windows meets the seals, and possibly also from where the doors meet their seals (perhaps especially in the corners). I say this because slightly rolling down the windows diminishes the noise (closing the windows completely produces one of the noises).
I've wondered whether some kind of sticky "gunk" has accumulated on the windows and or seals, and it does seem that the feel of the windows where they would meet the seals is a bit different from the rest of the window.
Does anyone else have this experience or some thoughts on how to eliminate it? I've tried washing off one window's worth of window seal, and it seemed to help a bit, but I'd like to do something more thorough without harming anything.
Ideas?
Thanks!
Todd
