Title: Sunroof shade rattle?
Post by: DaveN on 27 April 2007, 09:27

With the better weather I have been using the sunroof on my 07 GTI.
What I have noticed is when the sunroof is closed but the shade is back it rattles.
Has anyone else experienced this, the caris going in next tuesday to get the drivers seat back replaced due to it creaking in two places and the rear passenger seat lock rattling like a bag of spanners.

If anyone knows of a TSB I'll add it to the list though I'll be suprised if the dealer fixes 1 out of 3 really.

I've got some rattle coming from the dash vent which is bugging me. Cant hear it with the stereo on but it still bugs me. If i place my hand on the vent then it stops and it only happens when the car is moving.

Max - this is way common. Use The Doc's bluetooth instructions to remove the top vent, pad it out (tape, blu tac, anything) and replace. Job done.

Dave,

I have had this kind of problem on ALL the cars I have had with sunroof's :shocked: IMHO the only way I got rid of the problem was to specify cars without ticking the sunroof option :sick:

I would be suprised if anyone with a sunroof in their car didn't hear a squeak or a rattle with the shade back but the roof closed. I know it's not the news you want to hear and I hope you can find a cure :smiley:
