Hi all,

If got a 57 plate Mini One and have noticed a few problems that dont seem quite right considering its a brand new, ill put up the list and can you let me knwo if you have the same issues and what youve done about them.

1) Drivers window seems to creak/squish against the door seal when going over rough surfaces.
2) Water comes in the top of passenger window when washing, only a little though.
3) After winding windows up the inside of front windows get a covering of moisture in the very front bottom corner as if door wet on inside.

Anyone else have these problems?

If your door seals are letting water through, I would get your dealer to have a look.

Regarding the creaking ... I had the same, and followed KenL's useful advice on getting some "Gummi Pflege" stuff. I apply it to the door seal rubbers (just the sections where the windows contact) every so often. Solves the creaking.

I've got the driver's window issue too, one of the things on my 'list to get fixed', but it doesn't seem to leak.
Also sometimes hear a noise like something gently tapping the glass, at least that's what it sounds like. Comes from both sides too

Yes - Gummipflege (available from BMW dealers at about £3) will cure the noise from dried out rubber against glass.

On the window that leaks, is the window going up properly when you close the door. Try resetting the position of them by holding up the levers for 5 seconds or so when the doors are closed.

If not, get the dealer to have a look at it.
