Sun Roof Rattle in Lux Euro HELP!

**LXRY** · 25-05-2007 02:57 AM

I have had this problem too and it is very irritating took it too my dealership where i originally bought my car New World Honda, Berwick (Hopeless Dealership IMO) where they kept greasing the rubber, which after 3 attempts did not work. Since then taking it too Travis Honda (very good dealership) where they applied a rubber treatment to the rubber....so far so good although we havn't had sun in a while to dry the rubber.

I thought at first it was a rattle, something loose but pin-pointed it too rubber (loose sunroof) ?? They might have adjusted it too, not sure.

Might be crappy rubber also....there is rubber and there is RUBBER....

I had it on mine(more a squeak) with it closed and the shade slid back.Put some silicone spray on a cloth and wiped it on the rubber,gone,but need to redo it approx.2 mths.

It only happened when it was closed....sounded so much like a rattle to me I kid you not. Sometimes it was on and off and sometimes it was unbearable. while driving and it is rattling or squeaking put your hand on the window part of the sunroof and apply some pressure see if it makes a differrence. Or even smear some grease on the rubber for a quick relief or a band aid solution. Hope this helps....There is definetly a problem with sunroof squeeking whatever you want to call it, DON'T call it a rattle, call it a fault as rattles arn't covered as warranty.

Hope this helps

Thanks, that is exactly the problem I HAD, it seems like it is fixed. It really wasn't a rattle I just could not find a suitable word hmm, fluttering chatter!!! I will also be trying the silcone treatmet too just in case the bugger is thinking of coming back

I've had this 2. I found that if i opened and closed the roof it goes away. And for some reason it only happed when the car had been sitting around for a while before i drove it. I also went to the dealer and he claimed to put rubber treatment on it. It only does it from time to time. I personally dont think its the rubber, but hey i guess it works.

Yes another band aid solution from Honda......Not sure if they adjusting sunroof aswell when they treat the rubber, I'm assuming they are

Further to Tony1234's visit I had the sunroof looked at again as the noise came back. As Tony says just smear some silicon grease on the back rubbers with the roof cracked open and this fixes things but not indefinitely. Done by the dealer who agrees

---- all is now quiet.

I've noticed this problem too, but thought it was just a common problem for everyone, so i just left it. It kind of makes it look cheap being in the car when it rattles..

My car is 2004 Luxury, and out of warranty.. how much would Honda charge to fix it or even do a temporary fix??

**tony1234** · 11-01-2008 07:29 PM

It's an easy fix.all you do is get some silicone grease(or silicone spray),open the sunroof on tilt,wipe on spray or grease with a rag on the areas(back half) of the rubber part of the glass sunroof that comes into contact with the metal part of the roof,you can also wipe some on the metal areas the rubber comes into contact with the metal part of the roof,close the roof and clean up any excess grease/spray.i did mine with the silicone grease and it's been good for approx.8 mths.

This thread just shows us how useful OzHonda can be when intelligent responses are made.

Shhh, people will start expecting the same from all the threads on here if you keep that up!

Just to keep up appearances... has anyone snorted cocaine of a hookers ass whilst hanging out the sunroof? has this improved the creaking situation?
