Sunroof - rattling in rails / tracks

Hi Everyone

My sunroof is persistently rattling in it’s tracks / rails when open and closed.

If I open it (first position) I can push up lightly on the glass and let it go and hear a corresponding ‘knock, knock’ and it also does the same when it is closed too.

For the closed position I have tried using some adhesive foam blocks near where it closes to try to get it push against something slightly to lessen it and it does work to some extent, but not perfect.

Has anyone else had this and if so, have you had any joy with any other method of improvement?

I am considering taking the glass out so I can see the rails / frame properly - but not sure how easy/hard that is either?

Have you tried tightening the screws that hold the glass in place?

Yes I believe so - I have checked the 6 torx screws are tight (which they are) ?

I can do a quick video later, may help explain a bit more...

Just get some spray grease from halfords and give it a good soaking on the rails..

Thanks, will give that a try - may it is just dry and that’s causing it?

You, my friend, are a genius !

Did exactly as stated above and it is 95% cured. I say 95% rather than 100% because if I go over any very significant bumps in the road with the sunroof in option position 1 (tilt) I can still hear a tiny bit of rattle, but it is massively better and no noise when closed.

Thank you v much for your help Thumbs Up Bow down
