Location: Russia, Perm | I don't know what kind of a noise your sunroof. However, my old 9G, too, was a creak. I used the silicone lubricant for rubber. The creaking disappears for about 6 - 8 months, then the process repeats itself. Can you it will help...

They changed the windscreen under warrnty to fix it.
Get it fixed under warranty! |

Location: Gawler | I have a similar noise from the rear which I cant pinpoint. Have ruled out all the usual stuff. Its like a plasticy crack/knock sound. I thought at first it might be the rear bumper flexing but it only happens when I turn into my driveway ( or someone elses) which has a bit of a rise or a dip. Your comments about the sunroof has made me want to investigate that area. |

Location: Brisbane,qld | Yeah , mine definatley is coming from the sunroof area, i thought about tightening the nuts that hold it in but maybe ill leave it for the dealer to fiddle with since its still under warranty, its not really a massive problem , just annoying sometimes. |

Location: Gawler | Mine is out of warranty but I would be interested as to what your dealer finds and what they do to fix it.
I agree it is annoying. Does it do it when the roof is open?. I must try that tomorrow and see if there is a difference. Cheeers |

Location: Gawler | I drove home with roof open and thought it was gone but as soon as I turned into my drive away it went.It definitely seems more body/plasticy than metal |

Location: An island off southern Tasmania. | My brother in law had his windscreen replaced due to creaks...was very hard to isolate, don't forget the glass is structural on these.
Do a test...open it fully and do the same experiment. |

Tried that. No difference
If you remove the sunroof completely does it still creak? |

Location: Gawler | I'm not sure that it is my sunroof it now seems as though the rear screen is 'flexing'. Seems to happen on moving off or first reverse in morning. Hardly a sound for remaining day but creaks again on left turn into driveway. Very annoying |
