Does anybody with a Helm's manual know if our sunroof requires regular lubrication or any other maintenance?

My sunroof is making a rattling noise when driving over bumps when it is in the fully opened position.

 

i had this same problem with my 00 tl the dealer simply used a lubercant on the rubber seal to soften it up. i use 303 protectant from my taneauu cover on my pick up truck. vasaleen works too.

 

it's called dealer warranty issue .... have them place he sealer all around it

 

If you talk about the seal, there's a fix using tape around the opening. I'm sure many members know about it, it's permanent fix from dealer. If it's other mechanical parts like hinges or joints, I guess try using some grease won't hurt. Bring it to dealer if it's there afterwards.

 

it's best to bring it back to the dealer for them to fix it.

 

I had something similar to this. When my sun shade was open, the sunroof would make this creeking noise.

Close the sunroof and get out of the car. Push down on top of the sunroof and see if it recreates the noise in question. If it does make the noise, open the sunroof and take some Armor All and go around the rubber seal. It gets dirty and doesn't slide against the metal when the car bends and flexes. It will soften it up, and it shouldn't creek anymore.

 

my formula used to leak from the drivers side Ttop because the seals were all dried up. vasaleen really works great.

 

What kind of tape? Dont mean to hijack the the thread by I'm having sunroof issues too... Mine sticks up too high in the front and too low in the back... doesnt leak water, at least not into the cabin, but I have annoying ass air leak.

I think this a job thats best left to the dealer or a good auto glass place, but I'm curious if that tape will help.
