Has anyone experienced creaking noises when the the weather is hot from the sunroof. I had no problems until the temperature began to warm up. Also, I have an annoying rattle coming from the passenger side seat belt adjuster. I have been to the dealer twice and they just keep lubricating these parts. I was not out of the dealership 10 minutes when the rattles started again!! Any help would be appreciated.

Have the channels re-lubed, mine was creaking and they put more grease in the channels and its working just fine again.

My Sunroof creaks a lot when its open on a warm day. It took me months to figure out thats where the sound was coming from. Close the sunroof (interior slider) and it goes away. Not sure of a fix yet.

b-pillar rattle

I did a write up about the b-pillar rattle.

It silenced about 90% of the rattle within b-pillar. It does not bother me any more.

regarding the sunroof rattle. I got some silicone feet from external HDD's and stick them to the sunroof assembly so when it's closed the feet are sandwiched between the assembly and the windblock thingy... no more rattles.

I'll take some pics tomorrow.

Cool idea. My creaks seem to come from the rubber seal around the roof. As the car goes over bumps, the rubber rubs against the other parts creating the noise.

The rattle is coming from the pop-up deflector. If you open the sunroof, you will see this spring-loaded deflector come up. When the roof is closed, the tension is not enough to keep it snug and so it hits the inner metal lining about 3 inches in from each side. You can install some felt along the entire lenth where the deflector sits when the roof is closed or put a 2" length of double sided tape (or felt) on each end under where the deflector sits (and then hits). Mine makes no noise whatsoever ever since I did this.
