Condition
Various squeaks, noises or rattles are heard in the sunroof area. The noises are more easily heard when the
sunroof is in the fully closed or tilted position. If the sunroof is fully open, there are no noises.
Technical Background
During a certain production period the sunroof mechanism sliding rails were contaminated with a lubricant
incompatible with the approved lubricant. When the correct approved lubricant was applied to these contaminated
areas the correct lubricant did not adhere to these areas. These areas were then susceptible to noises when in
contact with adjacent components of the sunroof mechanism.
Production Solution
Production process corrected.
Service
1. The areas of contamination will
need to be thoroughly cleaned and
dried, then the correct lubricant can
be applied. Open the Panoramic
sunroof fully. While Figure 1 shows
the glass panel removed for clarity,
the glass panel does not need to be
removed to perform this operation.
