So where in PIT can I test for this problem?? Diagnosis looks to be nore fun than getting it fixed!

Seriously, which dealer in this area seem sto be the most competent? My experince with service has been marginal.

Hey jmatthe, good to see another member from the area here. What area are you from? What dealer did you get your car from?

As far as I'm concerned, Bobby Rahal sets the standard of service in the 'burgh. I think that's who ledbettm is using too...

i bought the car at sewickely bmw. closest to my home in wexford, but not a standard in service. they are, however, striving to get better...bobby rahal has a MB dealer within 2 miles of my house, and the place looks to be first class. anyway, may try b-rbmw for anything out of the ordinary that comes up...where are you?

Rahal M-B is also a top-notch operation. Pretty much all of Rahal's dealerships in and out of Pittsburgh operate the same way -- first class.

Here's a clip of my second windshield. The third one is quiet so far. Sorry for the jumpy video just listen don't look And as mentioned in the other thread if the tone changes when you push on the windshield it's a problem with the seal.
