Lift up the rear window seal on the roof with the end of a zip-tie or something and spray a little WD-40 along it.

Trust me that will cure it

 

Thanks for tip mate .. tried it , no dice... still the same non-stop crackling sound

 

Check out the picture in Post 26. Just need to drop the trim and cut off the pegs to allow the spacer to drop out.

It's a warranty thing which dealers are aware of if appropriate..

 

Thanks, .. took the plunge and yanked the spacers out... still no luck
Any more inputs ?

 

If I recall there are three of them - did you get them all?

 

Yup, 2 white ones from each corner, I have to cut the leg and yank out the spacers. A black clip in the middle attached to the body, which pops out right away.

 

I can't believe the WD-40 trick didn't work.

Is it a sound like someone gently tapping their finger nails on the rear window?

That is consistant the moment the wheels start rolling regardless of the road surface or engine revs?

If so then it's definately caused by the body/window flexing,I tried all the other suggestions without success.

I feel your pain tho,drives ya bloody crazy doesn't it

 

It worked !!!!!

Apparently I can't read . I sprayed WD-40 along the side window seals but NOT the roof line as you instructed.....

Another member stara told me about this and I tried again to spray the rubber seal between the roof and rear window from outside and the noise is gone (and my sanity is back lol)

Thanks man !

Now .. .. since I pulled the white pegs out , is it going to have some structural problems ?

 

I'm pretty sure the pegs are only there to aid the assembly process where the robot plonks them in
