Re: annoying creeking near sunroof

I also have an annoying creek....just don't think it's coming from the sunroof. Mine creeks when pulling in/out of my driveway, or any driveway, never head on. Just when 1 or 2 wheels make contact first. Sounds like the creeking is coming from the trunk, but who knows!!

Will wait a week or so & see what happens. (It only started last week)

Re: annoying creeking near sunroof

i have the same annoying problem. It sounds like there is something loose up around the sunroof that rattles around when ever i hit a bump or even on slightly rough road. I can't seem to locate the exact location but it is definitly from around the sunroof. Little things like that drive me crazy

Re: annoying creeking near sunroof

I have the same squeek but only when the sunroof is open. I seem to remember someone else having this same problem and the dealer fixed it. I'll have them fix mine when I take it in for my first oil change.

Thumbs up Re: annoying creeking near sunroof

Well, my SRX also does this, and I do believe it has everything to do with the sun roof, a very large piece of glass, and a fairly complex design. Mine only does this when I first get in the car, always once, maybe twice, mostly when the two front tires are over a dip, and one is over, the other not yet. Anyway, I think it has to do with the large piece of glass, and with the fact how rigid it is compared to the rest of the car. I am not saying this is an excuse, but this type of roof is complex, and very rewarding. I am not going to complain, anyway, if I am right, no dealer is going to be able to fix the problem. In fact, when I get to the dealer, it will not be doing it by that time. It is a design proble, probably not a manufacturing issue.

John

Re: annoying creeking near sunroof

JKN, I think you're right. Thought the creeking was coming from the trunk, but it may be from the sunroof.

Is it worth mentioning to dealer? Can it be fixed, or just wasting my time?

Could get pretty annoying over time!! (Or it may just settle).

Re: annoying creeking near sunroof

Wonder if this was why they gave $1,500 off for buying with no sun roof?

Re: annoying creeking near sunroof

Part of the reason gm is/has been giving a discount for no-ultra view is because the demand/desire for the roof has been more than double what they anticipated. (Originally 30% were to be ultraview, they are at 70% and climbing..) Hope the supplier can keep up, and still have a quality 'system' - as the entire roof is delivered, to the factory, as one unit. :coolgleam

oh btw, I've just started noticing a sunroof-based rattle, after just over 4k miles. It appears to be coming from the passenger side, above the front door. While traveling I've opened the roof, then closed, and the rattle appears to go away - I really hate to keep turning the sound up, as many dealers will advise with an internitten, non-findable problem.. :drinker
