So I have narrowed down the creaking noise I hear to both sides of the rear portion of the front part of the dual pane sunroof. It sounds as if the sunroof is shifting when going over certain bumps. I know it is the rear part as when I vent the roof the noise does not exist. Anyone else have this?
i have tightened the 3 screws on each side bracket which hold the sunroof on the movable slide mechanism.
any suggestions besides going back to the dealership?
thanks
Did you try to loosen screws adjust the roof down a little and then tighten? I had same problem loosened the screws and adjusted the glass down a little bit and re-tightened. You have to reset /calibrate the sunroof using this procedure:
1. Place the ignition switch in RUN position.
2. Close all of the doors.
3. Press and release the vent switch (sunroof should move to vent position).
4. Once the sunroof has stopped motion at the vent position, press and hold the vent switch for at least 5 seconds to re-calibrate the sunroof position.
**If the sunroof did not reach the full vent open position, press and hold the vent switch until the full-vent-open position is reached then release the vent switch, then press and hold the vent switch for at least 5 seconds to re-calibrate the sunroof position.**
5. Cycle the sunroof from the full-vent-open position to the full-slide-open position and back to the full-vent-open position at least 7 complete times. The sunroof is now in customer mode with the obstacle detection thresholds updated.
It took a couple of tries to get it completely aligned when closed. I drove around and no more creaking. I had tried the silicon spray on seals and that did not stop the issue. Will update later if it comes back or if i have leaking.
