My sunroof has become louder and louder when opening and closing. I can't describe the sound... Do I need to lubricate it or something?

I have an 05 and I have only had the car for a few months. Has anyone else experienced this?

 

i thought it was normal... but then again, i haven't heard of a sunroof that was quiet.

 

Take it back to the dealer. Hopefully it just needs to be lubed and not the gears. Nonetheless, it's covered by warranty. btw...mines is quiet and smooth *Knock on wood*

 

mine usually gets loud whenever its really cold, crazy huh.. lol

 

i took mine back to the dealer..... they greesed it, it now has no sound.......

 

It may be related to this TSB
Sunroof Lid Squeak/Creak Noise

 

It's been cold and RAINING a lot here in SF, CALI... so maybe that has something to do with it?

I don't want to leave it at the dealership for 8 hours for them to lube it so I am going to lube it myself...

What should I use? lithium or silicone?

 

Binar - thanks that is the sound that I couldn't describe... "creaking"

I will try that...

 

np

 

Just take it to the dealer, as with everything else in this car they will just lube it up and send you on your way (should last for a while).

ps binar, I like the gorillaz avatar...

 

thx

 

i have taken mine back to the dealer 5 times.........still doesnt work right.......trip number 6 here we go

 

I've taken mine back several times. They just lube it then the noise goes away. I'm convinced quick detailer dries the rubber seals up causing them to squeak or creak every few months.

 

took mine back to dealership, and the noise stopped for a while and came back.
it rained this past weekend and the noise went away somehow. hope it stays away
