I'm not sure if my problem is the same as the one you're having. I hear a pop when the roof starts to come down before it slides into the back. Same goes for when I tilt it up and down. I wonder what is required for a problem like this to be issued a TSB. Since it's a common issue shouldn't there be a TSB for it?

I've had the same problem ever since I got my 06. I usually hear the sunroof pop when I'm going up or down a driveway or parking garage at an angle.
I mentioned this to the service manager at my local Infiniti a couple of weeks ago and he said that it's a known problem that is due to the stiffness of the car and that they can't do anything about it to make the problem permanently go away.
I've just learned to live (and expect) the popping sound.
Good luck.

I went to the dealer for the same issue and they are also replacing my sunroof assembly (I'm assuming this includes the rails). My car makes the popping sound on driveways, and during any other situation that involves the car not being evenly on the ground. Lately even when I turn and there's a slight change in road height I can hear this sound...it's extremely annoying and it's not like it's easy to ignore.
Unfortunately, the part is in back order and they have no idea as to when they will be replacing it. I just believe it's rather unpleasant to purchase a $40k car and have to put up with this type of rattles and noises...

UPDATE: So they replaced the rails on my sunroof, which fixed the issue for merely 2-3 weeks. It's starting to come back, though now it's more random and harder to duplicate; however, I just hear it happening more and more often. We'll see what they say when I show up this weekend to document the issue once again.

It rarely happened to me on my 04 for the first couple of years.....
Then, last Oct. we moved into a new home. The driveway has a pretty steep slope off the end onto the road. The first time I backed out into the street my sunroof made a pop/knock sound....at first I thought it was a shock/spring in the rear that was sticking....but now it makes more sense that it is the flexing of the sunroof.....Still sux....but I can live with it.
I can handle the one "pop" much better than the buzzing rear deck in the hot days of summer...which I luckily didn't encounter this season.
