Hello

I have been through the forum but to no avail.

I have the dreaded creaky roof issue apparently when the body flexes on these, and because its riveted and not welded, the roof creaks somewhere around the sunroof.

Main Dealer ignoring this issue completely and want £159 to tell me what I already know, but have no convincing comment to make about fixing it. I love the car and would pay, even the Main Dealer, to fix it.

Anyone found a solution to this please ?

Secondly, I am working through a process elimination with this.

I have a vibration right through the car, obvs more prominent at speed.
Its vibrates in neutral too so makes it rotational.
I have balanced and checked the four wheels, a new hub/bearing has been fitted to NSF for a different reason and new discs and pads fitted.

I am assuming the hub/ bearing is the same part combined ?

Tyre specialist says there is an unusual wear on the OSF

I am going to get it tracked next, although it seem to feel straight as an arrow when driving. I am based in the North West.

Both issues are driving me nuts lol, and the car is fabulous so any help with this will be really appreciated please.

I had body creak on a 2018 Mini Cooper S. It took 3 dealer visits to sort. The common solution it seems is Waxoyl.
