Sunroof rattle returned
I need some serious advice/help with this one. My sunroof used to rattle previously (about 2 months ago) and the dealership replaced the housing roof (63203-30180), the clip(75561-33030), cable(roof) (63205-30071) and the moulding(75555-30121-A1,75556-30111-A1).
This reduced the rattle but there was still noise so I went ahead and replaced the seal(weathership)(63251-30100). Everything was good for a month. Fast forward to today while i am driving i get the loudest and most annoying rattle and right away am able to pin point it to the sunroof. I attempt to tilt it (the rattle is still there) so i decide to open it completely rattle continues without any difference. So that pretty much eliminates the weatherstrip fix. What on earth can i do to resolve this? I am out of ideas and have contacted the dealership to see if anything can be done as they tried to address this 2 months ago just before my 4 year basic warranty expired. PLEASE HELP:cry: Thanks. |
Take it back to the dealership and have them fix it - whatever the dealership did 30 to 60 days ago was not a permanent fix.
You said that you; "have contacted the dealership to see if anything can be done as they tried to address this 2 months ago just before my 4 year basic warranty expired." Are you going to keep what they said a secret? If not, what did they say? |

They certainly should fix it for you since it's only been 60 days or less since they worked on it. Hopefully just an adjustment is needed...

It took the dealership two attempts to fix my sunroof rattle on my '18 GS. Headliner came down both times. The second fix was just to tighten some bolts that had loosened up, or something along those lines. Whatever they did the second time actually worked though, has been perfect since.

Anyone has other suggestions or experience how to fix?! Just wanted to know for sure before I start taking roof liner off myself... |
I have the same issue with my 18. It's the same rattle whether the roof is open or closed. I would think it rules out the weatherstrip on mine. It doesn't rattle all the time, just occasionally. Guess I'll have to look to see if anything is loose that can be tightened.

That certainly doesn't make me feel warm and fuzzy inside I got a 2016 with 14000 miles on it my roof is not rattling but damn you guys have a 18 that have that problem I mean Lexus has been dealing with this to 2013 they haven't resolved this yet very poor design tie a 60k sedan brand new they really should recall this |

Ironically enough, I've seen a number of posts here on ClubLexus alone that makes it seem as though it's not a GS thing but it's a Lexus thing as other model owners have complained about the same thing. Seems like Lexus just doesn't have their sunroof design 100% when it comes to rattling.
Not a problem on my GS yet...knock on wood! Rattle in my car is inevitable with a catback exhaust and being lowered. Oh well I'll live with it.:sad: |
I guess I will have to take roofliner off and do my own investigation of what the problem is :(

Never a rattle on my 14 RX sunroof.
