Covertible Flapping Noise on Highway
Hello,
has any other convertible owner noticed a flapping noise when driving roof-up on the highway? Mine seems to be coming from the passenger side. It gets quite loud after 70mph. |

Don't know if it's similar to my issue on my driver side. I found out, the trim/seal around my back window (bottom interior) was pushed out passed the window a little bit and was catching wind.

I checked the seals on the window and everything looks good.
there is a little clip on the interior (1 on each side) which was off on the drivers side. It doesn't seem like that was causing the noise but I will check and report back. Maybe "loud" is a bit of an overstatement. Is it normal to have some flapping sound at highway speed? |

Nope, never had any "flapping" noise at any speed. Even in the 100+MPH range, with the top up (I try to avoid doing that with the top up, but sometimes you just can't help it) I've never heard any noise coming from it.
I would check your top's alignment. There are a ton of alignment adjustments you can make to the top all over. Might be worth taking it in to BMW and have them take a look, would cost less than a new top!!
