2019 model V60: rattle when closing doors

risrael · Mar 30th, 2019, 15:20

Hi all,
I own the new model V60 T5 Momentum from 2018. I am really happy with the car. However, I notice sometime a strange rattling noise on the outiside close to the front middle of the windshield when I close my doors.
I already found out that must be due to a flap related to the blower. Obviously the over pressure of air in the car when you close the door causes some flaps to rattle. The air tries tofind its way out of the car through the blower. After a couple of minutes the rattle is gone so it looks like some flap(s) positions have been resetted.
I find it quite annoying as it sounds really cheap but my dealer says it cannot be changed and it is like it is.
Does anybody recognizes this?
