I am having an intermittent issue with my 380 which sounds like it is coming from the rear window - best described as a creaking sound. Have others had similar issues and if so, have you found a solution?

From what I've read/encountered with Magna's, the rear window seal occasionally fails causing movement/noise.

This may not be the cause of this noise - really just guesswork on my part.

Any advice appreciated.

Location: An island off southern Tasmania.		Pay a windscreen guy 150 bucks to remove the glass and refit it.


BUT...thye gloass may break...so be prepared to buy a new rear window.....(not as cheap as a front window due to aerial and demister circuit)

We had two fail that way under warranty...and that was the fix.

Thanks for the advice, I was thinking along those lines too. Out of curiosity - for the ones you had redone, has the problem resurfaced?

Problem now fixed - rear glass was resealed a week ago ($145), creaking gone.
