I hear the creaking noise during normal driving. The noise will go away if I vent the sunroof. So I used Krytox and silicone spray around all seals of sunroof including fixed back panel as per TSB and searching the forums. Sunroof opens/closes perfectly fine. I had the sunroof replaced 18 months ago as the tracks broke. I am saying this because after the sunroof was replaced there was a slight gap in closed position (front panel slightly higher than the rear panel). 1st pic
I noticed a crack in seal on passenger side when sunroof is in vent position -2nd pic.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as the creaking noise is driving me nuts.

Correction. 1st 2 pics show closed position. 3rd is in vent position. Pics 4 and are duplicate. I know it looks dirty but trust me I lubed these about 6 weeks ago.

Here in the Gen 3 section, don’t think any of the guys/gals here are having issues with their sunroof…that I’m aware of. Before repair, no gap & after repair, there’s a gap. I’d suggest taking it back to the dealer and have them fix that gap as this could potentially resolve your issue.

Check out the video by Pacfanweb on YouTube. He’s got some great videos on how to reset the sunroof and how to adjust the roof
