Knocking from Sunroof
 
I have a very annoying knocking sound coming from the Solar Sunroof on mine, been searching for a guide on how to take it apart and can only find one on TS from a long time ago by our very own 8 God, Ian, but its so old the pics are no longer available, anybody know of any other guides around or even suggest what might be the problem please?

cheers

When open, closed, or both? Could it be something behind the console?

Mine needs adjusting too as it scratches the paint (alley sunroof) when I slide it fully open :mad: :Confused:

It could also be the seals needing coated with something like silicon, mine made a bit of noise until it was lubed. Not sure if I'd call it banging though.

its doing it when closed, sounds like two surfaces knocking together when I go over uneven roads, looked at it earlier and the headlining part of it seems to move up and down a bit, not sure of its that banging against another bit or not

cheers

sounds almost like the motor/belt is running on after youve closed it maybe? :Confused:
Either that or the glide mechanism has some wear or slack in it?

No not a motor thing, could be something loose in there, prime suspect is the head lining part at the moment but I need to find how to take it off to check whats going on behind

cheers

Have you left Connor on the roof rack again?
