E91 sunroof rattle

kata_tutu · 06-01-2010, 05:13 PM

Have noticed that on an intermittent basis that on my E91, there is a rattle from the black mobile plastic piece which is located on the inside between the two glass panels. It is a 'squeaky' rattle and really annoying. The problem is that it for some reason is intermittent. Any have any experience with this and know how to fix it ?

As of recently, I have had the same problem on my e90.

I had a similar rattle, and it turned out that the "cartridge" of the sunroof had sheared off a couple of the bolts that hold it in. I believe the cartridge is simply the glass panel that slides into place. The entire cartridge had to be replaced, at what would have been astonishing cost, had I not been under warranty. Hope you're still covered.
