This post is for owners of a 2004 3 series CiC. If you don't have one, you don't have to read any further. Ok, now... I have a problem with the door that opens to allow the ski bag pass thru. It rattles like an SOB when the stereo is on at any level other than off[fake]. The door and the housing are both made of plastic, so you can imagine the noise.. [V] I spoke to the dealer and I am the first to have this package combo this year so the issue hasn't arouse before mine. I have an appt. scheduled for March 11th for service. Has any one else experienced this? If so, how did you rectify? Double sided tape maybe? Thanks for all replies.. [thumb]

And for the record the HK in the cabrio this year sounds awesome. The sound is very full and the bass is tight! No rattles in the speakers, just that damn door for the ski bag.

There is no gasket, seal, etc. just the plastic frame and leather cushion. It fits VERY tightly on my car. Are you sure it is installed correctly? There are two fingers on the bottom that slide into slots and a hole in the top that receives a metal pin. Make sure they are properly enagaged.

I have the cold weather package including the ski pass thru but have not noticed any such noise on my car, but I have certainly noticed far more creaks and rattles on this 04 330Cic than I did on my 95 325ic

No creaks or rattles yet[:D] They just need to put a rubber gasket around the seal of the door, or maybe re-adjust the door. I have an appt on the 11th so we'll see.
