Hey guys,
I noticed when I have my sunroof open on "tilt" mode I hear a crackling or creaking noise when driving. Anyone else experience this problem?

inspect the rails, grease if they look really dry.
Also, lubricate the weather stripping all around the sunroof. you can use a silicon tire shine product, or the best in my experience is 3M silicon lubricant - wet type. was going to make a post about this. i used it on all my weather stripping last night and the tiny little creaks are gone. stuff dries out after a few years....and dirt cheap to try.

yea, I get this when my sunroof is tilted as well. seems to go away when I bring up the issue when I get my car serviced. They grease the tracks and stuff. It's annoying how quickly it comes back tho.

I get this in tilt mode too. I reported it once (to the dealership) and they said they couldn't reproduce it. In their defense it does only seem to happen occasionally (usually around 20-40mph) and in combination with minor bumps or road imperfections.
I might try the lubricant as well. If someone tries it, and it resolves the issue...I think they should update this thread. :-)

Mine also rattles over bumps when in tilt mode. Dealer could not duplicate it. I'm afraid to have it adjusted, as the last car I had ended up leaking through the roof after the dealer worked on it for rattles.
