Now what the weather is getting cold, my new F56 has developed a quirk or two. Or more specifically, a peculiar noise.
Basically, both windows seem to squeak against the rubber window seals when it's really cold. As you go over bumps. In warm weather, no noise. Do you guys just use rubber conditioner to keep the seals pliable and less rigid? Anything you prefer? I have that Gummixxxx stuff that people love, but I don't think it works that great honestly.
I also still have the passenger side rattle. I swear each time I have someone drive my car so I can sit in passenger side to locate the rattle, it stops. Maybe it's the seat itself?
Check to make sure your passenger seat belt buckle is not turned around backwards when it's against the side pillar. It rattles on the plastic. Always happen after someone is a passenger with me.

Thanks for the advice. The passenger side noise is more a reverberation or fast rattle type of sound - maybe I'd say it sounds hollow? Not a clunking or crashing noise. I've tapped the B pillar and seat belt mechanism to see if I hear anything loose. Nothing. Headliner is quiet when I tap it, as it door panel and glovebox. Very weird.
I think I found the "passenger side" rattle! I think it's the center armrest. When I hear the rattle from the drivers seat, if I press the armrest with decent force, the rattle goes away. Acoustics are a funny thing.
