Hi All,

Just wanted to see if anyone else has this problem. Whenever I have the moonroof on the tilt position, it rattles when I go over bumps. I just want to know if it was normal, if not, I will bring it in to the dealer for service.

Thanks

Not normal. Just ran out and checked this -- I can put mine in tilt and drive around the speed bumps in the parking lot and there's no rattle. Time to call your dealer...

Thanks, it was really bugging me when I heard it for the first time.

Mine rattles even when closed....its been documented at the dealership and will be addressed on Wed.

i don't think this come from just IS250. I think my IS350 does it sometime as well.

Mine rattles but only when closed - no rattle when tilted. When you say it's been documented at the dealership do you mean by you or it's a known issue? Thanks.

Guess I wasn't the only one.

Sorry for the confusion, I just meant that the dealer confirmed my problem and is going to take care of it- not that its a known issue

Thanks for the clarification - appreciate it.

My roof "squeeks" as well. It sounds like the rubber rubbing the body. When I tilt the roof it goes away, and when I close the shade I dont hear it...one of these days I plan to lubricate the rubber (im not sure how yet) to avoid a trip to the dealer, if that doesnt work Ill take it in....it is the ONLY sound I hear in the car while driving.....it would be better to hear silence....

HaHa...It's a known problem. So far the Lexus guys are still waiting for the response from Japan. I was told they have a temporary solution to fix it by sticking the portion that makes the noise. I dunt have mine to fix because it takes a whole day to get it done

Now I can even hear the noise when the moonroof closed

One of the few things I don't like about moonroofs. Sqeaks, rattles, and the potential for leaks as it
ages.

i had the same problems on my is250. whenever i close the sunroof, i can hear the rattling and squeeking noise. strangely, the noise always goes away overnight

i informed the dealership when i brought my car in for the 5000 mile service...they addressed the issue for free by "lubricating the contact points" on the sunroof...according to the paper work.

i haven't tried to see whether this helped, i hope this wasn't just a temporary solution!

Mine started rattling when in the tilt position recently and I was going to take it in and have it taken care of. After reading this post, it dawned on me that I had detailed the car just days before this started, and I cleaned under the sunroof - obviously a little too well.

I guess some of that grease was supposed to be there. <dumb look>

A little dab here and there on the obvious contact points and a few full open/close cycles and the rattle is gone. I wouldn't have thought of it if not for this post. Thanks!
