Pop noise from sun roof RESOLVED!

The issue was from a couple of tabs pointing upward which was unusual, and the glass was making the frame squeek and creek. So they aligned it properly and it's nice and quiet.. LIKE IT SHOULD BE!

I have the same exact problem. Dealer gave me the same ole bs... couldn't replicate the noise. said i could bring it back and leave it with them, but for what? i would be interested to know if the sunroof adjustment is something that can be easily done or must it be done by the dealer? this noise is really annoying when passengers comment on it and ask "what was that noise". i do not usually complain, i mean it is a car and not a sound studio, but this noise has got to go. any advise is really appreciated

i just came across this problem two days ago but it didnt seem to come from the sunroof. it sounded like the front suspension, my car has 30k miles and its the first time, i heard it as i was backing out of the drive way and i heard the pop. im not going to be to worried its the first time since i bought the car. i doubt the dealer will resovle it for the simple fact that i have added suspesion mods.

update... it happens when i have the sunroof open or closed, so i doubt it's the seal. sounds like something is loose up in the roof area near the sunroof. almost like something is slapping up against the metal. i know it's weird but that's the sound. could there be something loose having to do with the sunroof? what else is up there under the headliner. i'm afraid to remove it and screw something up. weirdest part is that it only happens when wheel is turned all the way left or right and going over gutter backing out or pulling into driveway at very slow speed. i can go straight over bumps, potholes, etc.. all day long at any speed and silent. this is a real pita and dealer is useless. i think i know more about the car than they do.

I have the same issue and it appears more now than before. My car is at 47k now and I can only be happy if this is the only issues I have so far. My roof will make a pop noise when ever I angle over a bump or going in/out a tilted drive way. I think I need to test drive with the tech before my warranty is up for good.

Back when I first got my car the dealer did put extra grease in my roof cuz it was making some rattle noise. but not the pop noise is the only noise so far. I wonder when they can do to fix it? take the roof apart?!?! It's like for many of members here that they have to take their dash out to fix the rattle, you think the dealer will have the take the roof off?

i don't see how they could take the roof off. it's all welded together. they might have to remove the headliner though, so they can get to the sunroof assembly. it has to be something to do with the sunroof. i don't think there is anything else up there between the headliner and roof. please post again when and if anyone gets this problem fixed. it would be a great help to all. thanks!!!
