Sunroof starting to make NOISES!

I'm sure this topic has been kicked around...but I just noticed my sunroof making noises . It's very subtle, but I can hear it!

I will visit my local dealer for Warranty, but can they fix it? Any feedback would be appreciated.

Thanks!

I believe there is a TSB (Technical Service Bulletin) on this that your dealer should have...

They fix it with a piece of magic Acura teflon tape - no charge.

Tell your SA to check the TSBs.

Yea, mine just started rattling today.

Odd because Wayne fixed mine when I first bought it :\

No biggie... i get it taken care of at next service..... OR when my tranny dies. (which based on its behavior the past few days... will be soon) heh.

AutoxCLS is correct. there is a TSB for this problem. They'll either use teflon tape, or a special Japanese lithium grease (very expensive grease from what I've heard.) They did the 2nd of the two fixes on mine. No problems with it so far (over 2000 miles.)
