Default Rumbling moon roof.

Just curious if anyone had same issue and what the remedy was.
As base line, my NX has only 27K miles on t and is full under warranty. So I'll let dealer have it soon, simply am curious of others had same issue.
Moon roof developed rumbling noise when closing from ajar position. Not from full or partial slide, but from tilt open to close. It literally sounds like a rumble, like something is dragging rubber on rubber.
I keep it open that way as it creates nice air flow driving, without major road noise getting in. As of about a week or so, it started doing this noise.
I just don't want to hear any "this is normal" from dealer. vehicle has plenty of suspension knocks as is, I'll turn it in in couple weeks.

Same problem.
Dealer just cleaned out dirt and regreased runners but problem still there.
My 2011 Ct 200 h required a new moonroof motor requiring removal of the roof liner. I have read in forums that similar moonroof problem in 2015 RC’s.
Hope this is not a systemic issue and would hate the roof liner of my NX to be removed.
