On the M4, I applied some when I brought the car home and had to do another application a few weeks ago at around 4,500 miles.

I drove over some crappy roads over the weekend and discovered a new rattle coming from central area of the dash. I thought possibly the A/C Vents or the dome light area. Tried the A/C vent fix but that didn't do anything and pushing on the dome light assembly didn't quiet the noise.
Found out the rattle was coming from a module under the rear view mirror cover. I believe it has something to do with the high beam assist and forward collision alert system. When I push on it, the rattle goes away. Since I might need that part swapped out, I'm planning to just relay the info to my service advisor and have them fix it. Just thought I'd share this finding for those that might have a stubborn center area rattle that you haven't been able to find. Last edited by onesixeight; 09-15-2015 at 04:03 PM.. |

I have one that seems to be coming from the fron dash to the left of the steering wheel. Any ideas?
Other than that I need to fix the door seals. They creak like mad when I go in an out of driveways etc. Insane! On the door seals should i use gummi or the synthetic grease? |

Ok, here's a free 5s DIY to remove/reduce the LED strip rattles from the coupe's door and also some rattles from the instrument cluster.
1. Basically find any piece of paper a bit thick , in my case I had a five gum package lying in my car. 2. Insert between Outer side of LED strip and the door trim and voila no more rattle there. 3. Use the same approach on the instrument cluster. Wedge some pieces in the lower and upper part where it makes contact w the dash trim. This is not a final solution, merely a proof of concept where I try to quickly locate and fix. I think a very thin adhesive felt material could help but I don't want to take anything apart so I may wedge an invisible piece of paper. Last edited by aboulfad; 10-06-2015 at 02:01 PM.. |

Ok I gotta check if I can pull down, I'll check the parts catalog and see. But no need to pull down if I can wedge something and be done with it
UPDATE: hard to tell from realoem if the LED strip is part 5 for M3 and M4. the description is not the same. For M3, it says "cover, fiber optics cable", the M4 description is "accent molding". Both pics show that they can be removed in theory, with 16 clips ... Any special technique to remove ? thanks. Last edited by aboulfad; 10-06-2015 at 11:36 AM.. |

sorry few more questions, i don't want to break any clips or anything if i decide to do it properly. This pic doesn't show the LEDs separate from the accent molding part 5, so when you remove part 5, that's the accent molding and LED all in one, and where is the cable?
The 16 clamps, part 19, are they latched on horizontally or vertically ? you say push down, but the picture kinda shows differently. thank you. |

Just trying to figure out if I'm having the same issue. Today I was getting out of the car and heard a creaking on my drivers side. It sounded like the frame at the bottom of the car, could this be this issue?

This is not the same sound/issue. This creaking sound actually comes from what SOUNDS to be the CF roof.....it sounds like cracking, creaking (from the pillars) and popping and only makes these sounds while driving. It actuality, it's the gloss black plastic trim around the doors as it gets in contact with the upper hard rubber door seals. If they aren't properly lubricated with gummi or the like, they dry up and cause friction with those gloss black pieces and make those sounds. Once you lube them up, they play much nicer and no more sounds
