I thought that but the other day gave them a coat of gummi and thats not solved it  :rolleyes:

How about your seat? They can make noises, mine were creaking for a while when I first got it but have stopped now. Could you get someone else to drive so you can sit in the back and try and narrow down where the problem is?

Result!

Mine has an annoying rattle from around where the seatbelts enter the B pillar. Very annoying at times.

Changed the setting from ‘sport’ to ‘individual’.
Left everything in ‘sport’ apart from engine noise-put that in ‘eco’,what a difference.
Sounds far better and less annoying,a lot more realistic sounding-well,to me it does!
