Sunroof popping/clicking

[Clozano]

Last week I started to notice a popping/clicking sound coming from my sunroof. I notice that when I open the sunroof the popping/clicking stops. Has anyone had this problem?

Yes. drove me crazy looking for the issue. Pulled down the headliner, took the CHMSL out and looked above the headliner for loose wires
Ultimately found a f150 video where the guy was having the same issue and used this

About 3 days after spraying the entire pano seal, it stopped

I didn't use a knife though, just stuck the straw in the channel, sprayed and moved down the channel

Is there ice on it? Mine was driving me nuts yesterday because of ice.

Would your truck only make noise when the sunroof was closed? I find that mine will stop making noise if I open my sunroof completely.

No ice in mine. It seems to stop popping when I open up my sunroof completely.

Yes, only when closed and driving over uneven pavement. If the sun roof was either in vent mode or partially-all the way open, no noise

Any luck on finding out what it was? Mine has been making noise and been to the dealership a few times for this and a front end noise that they tell me they can’t duplicate and it’s all normal and to put the radio. It’s driving me nuts

Yes. Mine started last month. I noticed that when I’m going slowly over uneven surfaces it’s making this sound (sunroof is closed when it happens). Going to get some video for reference.

Add me to this list…. Mine just starting to do the same. Mostly when going slightly off camber (speed bumps on one side of truck, steep driveways, etc..) almost like the body is flexing more than it should. My 2019 never did this but this one is a long bed… so ? Doesn’t matter if the roof is open or closed…. It does seem to lessen after driving for awhile, maybe the rubber is warming up…

gonna buy the lube today and try it out.

Well I tried the lube in the video….. lubed the crap out of everything and it didn’t do a thing…. Still pops and creaks when the body twists…. Any other fixes out there ?

It's in the sunroof frame, when I sprayed the lube in the channel, my noise went away about a day later

It works!
I've spayed a silicon grease twice and the rattle has finally gone
Thank you guys!

Are you saying the outside frame where the sunroof butts up to the actual metal of the roof?

Mine is doing this and driving me insane. Along with the leaky back window. And the cracked manifolds. Haha

I believe so, I'd have to go out and look at it a again but I believe that's what I did because I remember the straw popping out of the channel and getting oil on the paint.
In responding to this thread it reminds me that I've still not heard that noise again since my initial post on the topic

Edit. Yes, the outside edge, all the way around the sunroof

Awesome- I'll have to give this a go. I only notice it in the winter but it drives me absolutely nuts

Hello.
Where did you exactly sprayed?
Between the two pieces of glass or around were the seal joins the metal?

any picture would be very helpful. I have this issue whit my brand new Backcountry.

I thought mine was just with the screen closed but you all may be right. Will try this as well.

 

[Fernan0911]

Its like the moving part is loose.
Like there is not enough tension or pull to keep it from rattling

Hello. Did you try this?
