Default Anyone know how to fix sunroof noise?

I've got wind noise from old rubber seals on the roof. Dealer says must replace whole, roof. Rubber seals not available separately. It doesn't leak water, just wind. Any ideas?

i think i may have the same problem too, u mean it has like little creaking sounds and if ur outside of ur car and press down on ur moonroof/sunroof glass, u can see that the rubber seals give way and it creaks because of that?

so actual wind is getting in your car? i can only hear it when the shade is pulled back...

depending on the shape/structure of the rubber seals; you could possibly get some door seal rubber tubing from the local autoparts store and try fixing it yourself... it'd be worth a shot instead of having the dealer make you take out a mortgage to pay for it

Arrow yeah right...

Why does the dealer ALWAYS say replace. My first coupe did that and it also leaked water. I took it back to the dealer (I bought it used 1992 SC400 in 1997 with 40000 mi) and since it had a warrenty they 'shimmed' it and that fixed the leaking and noise.

Ask about this shim thing.
