Creaky panoramic sunroof
 
Hi All,
Anyone had any troubles with a creaky/squeaky panoramic roof going over bumpy roads?.Im getting obsessed with this now as i just cant seem to cure it.Regards, SIMON. :dunno:

Is it the sunroof itself making the noise or is it the headliner surrounding it? I have noticed a slight (but persistent) creaking on the drivers side of my sunroof but I am pretty sure it is the headliner making it. Almost as if some of the adhesive has let go and the headliner is chaffing against the roof??? :dunno: I am going to attempt to fix it with a syringe full of Goop injected in the trouble spots.

Parker,
Im pretty sure its the glass roof itself, as i can sometimes bring on the creak by forcing the glass up and down myself.I just cant pinpoint the exact spot to lubricate.But saying that,ive squirted just about everything i can find with silicon spray but to no avail.It sounds like plastic rubbing against plastic somewhere.Im gonna get the buggar this weekend if its the last thing i do,its driving me bonkers. :rofl: Regards, SIMON. :)

Mine (pano) creaks when cornering or going over bumps for the first few minutes after being closed - seems like it needs a little time to "seat" itself.

I have not noticed this,But when it rains and you tilt the roof make a horrid noise !

I notice the same thing, it comes from the plastic piece that joins the 2 panels.
