05 545i, when on the highway there is a minnor bit of wind noise coming in. If I center my hand on the glass and push up it goes away...doesn't take a lot of force either. just noticed this morning that if the suroof is in the cocked position (whatever you call hitting the center button and it tilts up) and I put it down it makes a loud gear stripping noise for about a second...scared the crap out of me the first time...damn! Is this a dealer adjustment? lastly, if the car is washed or is out in the rain for a bit and then I drive it the next day or so on a nice sunny day, open the sunroof and then I get 20 drops of water on me....what's up with that?

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Vince

Do a search on here.

I believe there is a service bulletin out there for excessive sunroof wind noise. They replace the seals.

yeah go get it done if your car is still under warranty or else it's about $400.00. There is two issues one is the seal the other is the glass they shave it down a bit.

550i now

my '05 made had that same wind noise.. My '08 550i does not.

My '08 sunroof panel seems to sits closer to the roof line, my '05 sat lower, I believe contributing to the wind noise.

never chose to report or deal with this, just happen to have noticed this as a differnce between these 2 cars.
