Just wondering if anyone else has had a problem with their moonroof. Just picked up my Type-S 2 days ago and the moonroof sqeaks constantly while I am driving!! No big deal, but just wondring if its a common problem.

 

This was a big issue with the CL-S when it came out. If you bring it back to the dealer, they'll probably re-lube the moonroof and you should be fine!!

 

Lubricating the seal is no longer a valid repair. Advise the dealer to perform the repair on Service Bulletin 00-032. The bulletin will instruct the dealer to clean seal and apply "sqeak reduction" tape around the moonroof opening.

 

had both done. still squeaks.

 

Could these steps be done while the cars were built. I am wondering if those ones that were built recently have experienced the same kind of problem. Need help from the newest TL-S owner.

The problem doesn't seem to affect all vehicles. My Accord V6 coupe suffered from this, but my '02 TL-S doesn't.

 

My doesn't either. And looking at my VIN# I am in the 3,100 vehicle made.

 

No problem so far.

 

I got mine on 6/8/01. Nothing so far (knocking on wood).

 

I notice a lot of rattling from my moonroof when it is closed. If I push on it when it is closed I can even move it up a bit. I'm gonna mention this to Park Ave Acura when I get my next oil change.

 

I have a VIN#18,000+ TLS. When I picked up the car, the Acura service rep was there and he told me Acura changed the materials used for the sunroof seals to reduce the squeaks. I don't know if he was telling the truth, but he seemed to know what he was talking about...

 

I got mine at the end of March and, fortunately, I don't have any of the rattles or squeaks that others have reported in the roof, seats, etc. Just lucky I guess

 

how do you tell from the VIN #?

 

what kind of sqeaks are you getting?

for some reason i've been thinking that the sunroof rattles when i turn my stereo and the bass really night... but then i found out that it's cuz of my stupid sunglasses in the holder thats rattling

 

nevermind.... mine's 6149... no prob so far...

what # is yours sixspdbrd?

 

I don't know if it's the same problem, but my '00 TL developed a squeak with the moonroof at around 15k miles. It only happened when the cover was open, and when I went in for my 15k mile service, they said they had a tech bulletin on it and they fixed the problem. I don't know if the fix was a permanent solution or not, because I traded it in on my TLS 2 months later, but it was quiet as long as I had the car.

My point is, if it's the same problem, it could pop up in the future. Most of us only have a few thousand miles on our cars, so we don't know yet if this problem has really been corrected.

 

So far no rattles from the moonroof (approx. 1600 miles).
