I notice that when my moonroof is closed, I can hear its making some kinda sound. It sounds like too tight or something, its hard to describe it. Is there any TSIB related to moonroof? Thanks

get some vasaline, and rub a little of it all around on the black rubber seal part, dont need to coat it, just enough to give it some grease

I mean it happens when I close the moonroof, it doesnt' happen if I angle it up.

Mine does this too. Dealer said there was dirt in it, and charged me $20 to "clean" it. Silly me, I didn't complain, and tell them I can clean the tracks myself. It was quiet for 3 weeks.

does it sound like raindrops? mine sounds like raindrops when it's fully closed.

its hard to describe that sound but it only happens when its fully closed, if I tilt up its fine tho

I guess that's a good way to describe the way my SR sounds.

Wait, your Lexus dealer charged you $20 for cleaning your sunroof? You're kidding right? Unless your car has over 50k miles and there's no more warranty. My sunroof wouldn't close once, brought into the dealer, they "cleaned" it and it closed properly ever since. If they charged me for that "cleaning" I can't imagine what I will say to them

yea if your car is under warranty dont try to fix it take it to the dealer regardless if there is a tsb or not they will do it under warranty

I admit I was stupid not to challenge the $20 charge (they had my car for 5 days, the paperwork wasn't ready when I got there, my 5 year old was with me and bored out of his mind and I just wanted to get him out of there, my tux didnt come back from the cleaners, an old friend came in from out of town, etc, etc), but how would dirt being in the SR tracks be a warranty item?

I wouldn't feel too bad, $20 is fine. especially if they washed the car for you (LOL). Dirt does get into the roof rails rather easily. I just opened my sunroof for the first time in 8 months, and I had to clean out the housing because of dirt. I have not had the noises yet, so I guess I am lucky. There was a member on CL that had a whole new glass and integrated seal assembly replaced for free under warrenty for the same issue two or three weeks back.

I need to open my sunroof up more. I think I opened it once in 14 months.

Brian231

Ah,

Don't feel bad, the wind noise is rather loud and I don't think the deflectors look that good on the gen 2's (LOL). Suprisingly, out of all the cars I have owned with a sunroof, the 2gen IS allows the most dirt to pass beyond the seal.
