After the long drive home in my new purchase I decided one of the first things I need to fix are the windows. The rattling drove me nuts and they seem to overlap on shutting the doors and need assistance to line them up.
Are there and common faults with these and what can I do to improve them?
Thanks

Convertible windows always rattle a bit if you have them up with the roof down.
BMW didn't expect wusses to drive round like this.

This is a really easy problem to solve.. I just crack the rear windows down a couple of milimeters!

a top wife/girlfriend tip is to lower only the rear window on her side.
this disturbs the air flow enough to result in only a slight rearward blowing "breeze" on her side, thus her hair is blown backwards and not over her face (the latter being a bonus if she's ugly!). Then set heater to full feet and face and she should be as happy as a pig in shite, if not show 'er the hairy side!
it also works for driver side when solo, only lower driver rear window when going along and you will see what i mean.
