This is what I use to stop the annoying squeaks from the brittle rubber seal on the sunroof. I am sure that it has a meaning in German.

Hi guys my car done 55,000klms sunroof rattle still there from day 1 after being told by dealership that they had put some rubber treatment on and this would fix this issue.........well still there and very very irritating. i went to see a sunroof expert and told them what my problem was and laughed at me said no treatment for rubber just grease or oil or just plain lubrication etc...

So he put it too wrong choice in rubber !! (manufacturing)


The operation of the sunroof seems fine however doesn't feel tight fit where squeeking section is, towards the back of the car.

Is this a fault ? Can this be argued warranty ?

Would appreciate some input or help please, as I will be talking to my dealership at 60,000klm service and mentioning this..

You need to use some sort of soft penetrating grease(i use silicon grease which they use to lube swaybar bushes)apply it where rubber meets the rear of the sunroof and wipe it off gently leaving a fair bit there.it the penetrates the rubber.i had the problem,greased it up and 8 mths.later NO squeaking.

these guys are greasing the rubber every service though not going the distance. Starts to squeak at 5000 klm. I'm not satisfied with them greasing every service it's another one of their stuff ups i have to live with.

Bringing up an old thread here, sorry.

My 2005 Luxury has just over 100 000km on the clock and has just started to make quite a loud creaking/clicking from the roof up the driver (rear drivers side corner of sunroof opening) The noise occurs over any bumps/driveways etc, noise occurs when sunroof is in any position (inc. all the way open). Sounds like the roof creaking from that corner Anyone else experienced this? Maybe something just needs tightening...

Get someone to sit in the back seat and listen if it is coming from the sunroof or the rear parcel shelf.

[ENVSSS]

Nope, definately coming from sunroof area (occurs right above head while in driver's seat). I have fix the parcel shelf by using dynomat.

Try a heavy grease on the rails first then. I like black/gray lithium grease, because it maintains a thin film even under pressure.

Yeah I usually do this to prevent the rubber from drying and making noises but this is different.

I've noticed that if I open the sunroof all the way and stand outside the car I can hear the noise when I press down or pull the roof along the side of the roof opening, kind of like a click/creak sound.

OK updating my own post. After removing the wind sheild and further examination I think it is actually one or some of the clips that are holding the inner roof lining on. Does that make sense?

I had this issues after I got my hail damage fixed, told Honda at the service, standard response lube the rubber, they didn't check to see if it was fixed. I took it back to the smash repairs and they found the problem after the second time. It had something to do with the roof lining.
It was driving me insane.
The rubbers around the doors need to be lubed at each service to stop squeaks, sometimes I have to lube in between services.
