squeak in the sunroof
took the car for maintanece at Rosenthal Acura MD today and when we got the car back, the tank was almost empty and there was this rattle coming from the big piece of plastic that lines the glass. wondering if u guys know how to fix this and know if this usually happens frequently. o ya the trans jerked when goin into second gear when we were pullin out of acura but didnt manage to happen again; problem?
p.s. this is the first major prob ive had with rosenthal.

to be honest with you, i'm not sure what part of the sunroof you're talking about offhand. i will have to go look, but sunroof squeaks are not uncommon. they have a special silicon-tape they can put on it.
as far as your gas is concerned, i would say something. if you brought it in half full or full and its almost empty then i would speak up. they may re-imburse you or they may tell you to shove off. but it can't hurt to say something. how many extra miles were on it when you picked it up would you think?

Go back to your dealership and tell them to put anti-rattle tape on your sunroof. I don't know if that will fix your problem since I have had my dealership put the tape on..not once, not twice..but three times. 
..and it still makes slight rattles. As for the hard shifting from 1st>2nd..I believe that's normal for Honda trannies.

The 303 Protectant will work - the rubber gasket is dry and rubs causing the squeeking when the sun roof is closed - pain the butt.
The tape the dealers put on only works for a year and the squeek comes back.... just mention this squeekness to the dealer the next time you go in, regardless if you have the warranty - they should still help you out at no cost.
