I'm definitely having rattling where the sunroof is on the car and barely had the car for 6 weeks lol..
I'm definitely having rattling where the sunroof is on the car and barely had the car for 6 weeks lol..
I am hearing a rattling sound while sun roof is closed coming from where the sun shade would get tucked in when. Not sure if this is the same issue the OP is having but I had hoped others might know what the cause of this is.
Thanks
I have a rattle from my sunrooof mostly when its closed, is there a DIY on how to adjust and fix the problem?
It appear my sunroof is a bit "tucked in" on the forward part from the factory...
So any pointers are welcome.
Thanks!

I think there's a TSB on rattling sunroofs. You should take it in.
If there's more of a creak than a rattle, it's probably lack of lube on the rear main sunroof seal. We had an issue with my wife's 15 and have had no further issue after having the main seal lubed at the dealership.
This shit is so annoying makes me feel like the build quality is cheap when I hear this.
Im going to take it to the dealer this week hopefully they can get it fixed :/
Sat in a 17 Sport and an SE today, mainly to see what it felt like with /without the sunroof. Have always bought cars with sunroofs, would bum me out not to have one.
The dilemma is that the 18 SE has the roof, not optional. If I don't want an S, then I need to buy a 17 Sport to skip the roof. Not hard to find, but they feel somber inside even with the plaid fabric.
Finally fixed it. Took two strips of the fuzzy Velcro and stuck it on opposite sides of the plastic with the felt in the middle. I could see that there was rub on the plastic shade cover from the rubber seal looking piece attached to the bottom of the glass. Placed a Velcro piece there and the opposite side. No more squeaking. Got the idea from another post dealing with this issue, but can't remember from where I saw it.
Any chance you could get some pics of this fix? Got my GTI on Monday and it is already doing it.
As I mentioned above I would use silicone lubricant we did that with my wife's car picture to Bob and have not had any issue in almost 2 years if you do that and still have a rattle it's time to go to the dealer
