Hello Z fans!
Need your help, My BMW, 2003 Z4 with 28K miles--- noise on driver side side, sounds as if the noise is coming from the driver inside-plastic door grip, If I put pressure on it to try to reproduce sound, sounds like a foam egg carton being squeezed as I go over bumps---
I am not 100% certain, I also hear some noise going over bumps also next to driver side, seems to be coming from automatic rag top somewhere?
So, If I bring this to a BMW dealership to trouble shoot, being off warranty will be expensive, Any help on any areas I should have them check so I wont have to pay for multiple visits----, Does anybody know how to tighten that inner door grip, silver grab handle inside? Any ideas------Am I over looking something?
Please provide any help. I understand it is not a luxury cush ride, Just looking for ways or areas to have the dealer check for tighten and or adjustment when I schedule my appointment!!!
Thanks all for your quality help!
Bob

Bob,
It's difficult to identify a noise remotely so I can't point you in the right direction. There is however a detailed guide to removing the door trim here:

If you feel that the noise is coming from the roof locks, try using a silicon spray to the locks. Sometimes helps
