Hi all,
When there is a lot of direct sunlight into the E46 car.
When you first drive it - there is a kind of crack noise from
somewhere in the back - not exactly a rattle as it can "crack" even
when the car is stationary.
When you turn the AC on - and the inside cools down it seems to go.
And in non-hot weather - there is no problem at all.
Has anybody else experienced this or am I going mad?
Cheers,
Keith.

My E46/2 used to do this on occasion on warm summer mornings. I always
assumed it had to do with the sunlight expanding the (cold) rear
window against its frame, producing this light cracking sound. Never
though much of it - seems normal on the E46. =)

I think that's it. My drivers window does it sometimes.

If it's what I think it is, Gummi Pflege seems to help.
