Sunroof Rattle

Please don’t listen to that guy. The only recommended lubricant is Krytox. Don’t go spraying WD-40 all over your paint and glass.

Definitely don't do wd-40.
I've been using silicone to substitute. It doesn't really work. Maybe we all have a different rattle? My rattle was in the passenger sliding bolt that goes thru the track. It was never resolved I gave up.

I had the rattle start last week. All I had was some WD40 on the shelf. It worked in a pinch. I ordered the Krytox weatherstrip lube to do it right. Showed up today. Expensive stuff.

Does your rattle go away if you tilt your window up just a smidge? Like press the button just move the window and neither have it open at all nor closed all the way?

Too be honest I didn’t try it. I don’t use my sunroof ever. I have it tinted very dark and just use it for the panoramic feature. I will add that despite me never opening it…it was filthy.

Yea dirt and grime come in between the seals with the water when it rains.

Got a link to that oil? Do you use that oil in the fixed panel and seep it into the seal from on top? Looking for something that will last.

exactly how I did it .I got both on amazon

Thanks for the good info in here fellas. No squeaks or rattles for me yet. Now I know what to do when they appear.
