Sun roof rattle

Postby Graham W » Sat May 04, 2019 6:23 am

Woohooo i love a good rattle ! Not !

The sunroof has started to rattle when fully closed. I have checked all is tight and blasted some muck out using WD40 PTFE spray, which made for a smoother opening and closing but not stopped the rattle.

Any others found a fix? Was going to get a thicker grease for the coils each side and see if that works, but thought id ask first :-)

my biggest issues with the sunroofs has always been making them move smoothly so as to not have too high a Resistance to burn out the sunroof motor ( LOTSA dollars to fix)

So Its a good thing u cleaned/lubed.

The rattle .. well it sounds like a screw might have gotten loose where i cant see it.
