Sunroof Rattle
I noticed recently that my sunroof assembly rattles while driving over uneven road surfaces. It is very annoying! Is anybody experience the same on 06 RLs?

Do a search on this site using google to find the threads on this topic as I believe the built in search is still not functional.
IIRC, the rattle was from the pop up air deflector when the sunroof was open, driven at highway speeds. I cannot say I have this problem, but I also don't drive at speed with the sunroof open because it is too noisy.
I do not recall if there was a resolution.

i think this might be a problem that most Honda/Acuras have, you may just need to get the seals relubed. try that and see if it works. the dealerships should do it for free.

I had the same problem. The dealer, I think, did lube it last week and it seems much better.
It was odd because it went from no rattle to an annoying one in the course of a day.

I agree. The moonroof squeaking is a common issue resolved by lubing. A "screech" seems like metal on metal to me?

I have noticed the squeaking also, and initially thought it was a rattle. (I am 'rattle retentive' after owning the TL prior). It is not noticeable when the sunshade is closed.
It is not a rattle, but simply the weatherstrip that surronds the glass panel and the friction against themetal roof surround. I have used a vinyl protectorants to reduce the squeak, but it eventually returns.
Whatever you use be sure it will not stain or etch the paint of the metal roof surround. Or, as I have learned to do, simply ask my tech to lubricate the roof at each service visit. He now has it on the work order before I rattle off my requests.

i'm not sure where you live MITIA, but usually I need to get my sunroof relubed after the winter months. the cold tends to dry out the lubricants. usually i get it redone at my first oil change of the spring. hope that helps. or like TampaRL said, you could just do it yourself.
