You know, like a 'tak tak' sound or squeeks/rattles like something's rubbing when running on uneven surfaces. Sent in to SC and smartass service adviser without even a testdrive replaced all window linings and removed the rear seatbench 'to add in more insulation'. Apart from strong smell of glue when I collected the car, the rattles were worse then before I sent in the car! And they were coming from a badly refitted seat bench.So had to send in the car again and this time they said it was my rear seat rubbing on the door and the parcel shelf too. In the first place I don't understand why they had to take out the seat bench anyway. After an overnight at the workshop, they fixed the rattles coming from the bench but the original squeeks and rattles that got me sending in the car remain to this day.Wondering if any fellow 5 owners out there had similar problems? Yesterday, i noticed that the sounds could be coming from the rear window pillar that holds the rear 3/4 blind. Seems to be loose.Would wlecome feedback from you good folks.Cheers</p></blockquote><p></p>
