Condition 1
Some customers may comment that there is a creak, snap or pop noise coming from the sunroof assembly while driving on rough roads or while making
turns. The noise may also occur when the sunroof is closed, and will go away when the sunroof is slightly opened.
Condition 2
Some customers may comment that the sunroof noise is coming from the left front and happens when there is a torsional load into the body, like going up
a driveway.
Condition 3
Some customers may comment that the sunroof noise is coming from the right rear.
Cause 1
There are two potential causes for the noise concerns.
The first one may be that the front and rear track guides that are attached to the sunroof SMC frame can have a stick/slip condition. The movement
between the two pieces may create the noise.
The second cause for the noise may be the interface between the sunroof frame alignment pin and the roof sheet metal.
Cause 2
The left front alignment pin may be making contact to the roof sheet metal. Vehicles built after VIN 70149506 will have a red cap over the alignment pin
and should not need to be removed.
Cause 3
The right rear alignment pin may be making hard contact to the roof sheet metal. Refer to the illustration above.
