Thanks...this solved it for me...upper tailgate striker was off a few mm. This also corrected the hatch door not being flush with the body when closed. EDIT: The post#33 from seattle was the finishing touch....thanks Last edited by rdham; 02-14-2014 at 08:59 PM. |

^Excellent find. Thanks.
The solution on my original X5 was applying felt tape in the cargo cover receptacle. It held the cover in place and no longer rocked back and forth. Hopefully it is that easy for some of the others on here and thankfully I have not had any issues like this on the X5M (yet?). |

I think I need to get the lower gate outward on that side. I couldn't tell from your pic how those two bolts would do anything but loosen/remove the lower gate. I did try the washer trick, and it did lift the lower tailgate well. however, I didn't need that. I was just trying everything. Could you give some more detail on how I should be the lower gate outward and flush with the body, and then I suspect the trick on getting the latches adjust. I would assume once I get the first part done it won't latch anymore, and I will need to move the latches. Then I suppose the rubber seal will leave a gap too........ Thanks! |

^ do you guys have the 2011 model year as that was the first year after the refresh? Curious since "first year run" is always cited for creaks and similar issues.

Yup, I have the 2011. I bought it used and have been working through the various issues. Rear airbags replaced, battery replaced, all Turbo coolant lines replaced, trailer hitch installed, rear sun shade replaced, engine compartment plastics replaced, tires replaced with non run flats......
I have this creaking and clanking and then a persistent CEL to deal with. This thing needs attention for sure. |

I am new forum member. I have a 2009 xDrive48i Sport and I've got terrible creaking noises coming from both rear sides. I've reviewed this entire thread but am not very technical. I'd easily be willing to pay someone to help me get rid of these noises. I live in Laguna Beach, California.
