Rear window squeek?

I owned a hardtop MCS for two years and the only squeek I ever heard in two years was inside the drivers door near the reflector. I could put my finger on the reflector and it would stop...squeeks drive me nuts!

Now my new MCS/C's rear windows squeek..eeek! I have to lower it just a hair to avoid the nasty squeek.

Am I alone :impatient

 

MCSc, ~6500 miles

Do not (yet?) have the squeak.

I am happy to report that I have no squeaks -

No squeek on my MCS :smile:

 

No squeeks from my MCC. And I just had the rear windows replaced due to the crescent shaped scratches that some of us are getting.

No rear window squeaks, but I do get some noise from the driver's side window pressing on the seal when the top is up. Luckily the top is rarely ever up.

 

1256 miles (finally!) and no squeek.

My 10 year old son noticed when I turned over 1250 and said - "Dad, look! Rev her up, baby!"

 

Hey I too have those cresant shappped scratch's did the factory replace em? and did they fix the cause of the problem??

 

If you are getting squeaks from the glass rubbing against the rubber weatherstripping, I will suggest that you buy some spray silicone and liberally spray (let sit and wipe off) the rubber. This will not only extend the life of the rubber, but may very likely remove the squeak. For a while anyway.

The dealer may also have a better, long-term solution.

Those of you who plan to keep your car for ever and ever, you should semi-annually spray and wipe all the rubber seals in your car with silicone spray. It's cheap, and it works. Replacing all of that rubber will be very expensive, and this (in my experience) will extend the life substantially.

HTH,

No squeak, but am getting a new top and rear side windows next Tuesday...

 

Supposedly MINI USA has recognized the problem & there is a fix. I have had the new glass in for 2 months now & have not noticed any new scratches. MINI of St Louis did a fantastic job of replacing both my windows & top

Why did you get your top replaced?

 

I had very bad wear marks on both sides above the rear side windows. My Cabrio was an early build(Sept. 04). The marks were shiny & starting to fray. The Master Tech from MINI USA took one look at it & said it needed to be replaced. No hassle.

not yet however mine is being broken in at the moment.

 

I have no squeak but I did develop a slight leak at one of my rear windows & the dealership adjusted something to stop the leak so MBE they can adjust something to stop the squeak
