Creaking and ticking
Discussion
Good evening all
First post on this forum, so firstly - hello!
Bought an R56 2007 Cooper 8 weeks ago. Very happy with the car as it suits my needs perfectly. However, 2 slightly annoying issues have developed since I picked it up -
1) What I would describe as an almost constant ticking noise from either the roof lining or the sunroof. Have oiled / greased / sprayed all moving parts and also added some neoprene strips to try and ensure a tight fit but still the ticking continues (one seems to be almost right above my head - particularly irritating)
2) Within the last 2 weeks I seem to have developed a creaking / vibrating noise when going over bumps or rougher road surfaces, that I think is coming from the dashboard on the passenger side. All seems a tight fit between dash and windscreen, and certainly no obvious movement.
Any ideas? Sound similar to any other problems? Any help much appreciated.

Roof noise generally is all the time.
Dash I've tried with the heater on and off and generally doesnt seem to make a difference. I did wonder earlier whether it was the rear view mirror / sunroof control panel in the roof lining that was making the noise, but now not so sure!
Generally quite annoying - and does seem to have got worse in the short time I've had the car.
Seatbelts I've checked and fastened down front and rear so I know that those are ok.
Will try and have a further good look around at the weekend.....
