Sunroof rattle noise

[Vexed]

Did the noise come back?

Mine was silent for a week and then the back part creaks again when it's hot. Only creaks when I have it fully closed. I also now have slight squeaks from the headliner above my head. FFS.

One thing to note, when I had my A class, I could visibly tell that the railing were lubricated, it was greasy. With Passat, I don't seem to see a lubricated part at all?

Yes the noise is back... The car was at the dealership for weeks and the problem hasn't been resolved. Not only that, but now if I open the sunroof and then close it, the sunroof slides in to close, then tilts open immediately. I have to try to close around 10 times for it to close.
I'm sick of visiting the dealership, and I'm sure they won't be very happy to see me again.

Any luck with the sunroof repair? Mine now is really noisy from the front of the sunroof (previously the noise was from the back part). Now I have to drive the sunroof tilted otherwise the noise is unbearable.

Hey Vexed,
I had an issue with my sunroof not opening/closing & then opening straight away. The dealer replaced the switch which fixed the issue. That was around 6 weeks ago & all good since.

For me it was a small piece of carton jammed at the back of the sunroof rail. The issue was rectified when I found it and removed.

Thank goodness you found the cardboard!

I like the idea of a sunroof but this thread is quite the turn off

Pretty glad i didn't get a sunroof now, this combined with all the leaks in the Volkswagen Alltrack group on Facebook. I also think we need solid shades in Australia, not a perforated blind.

Which dealer fixed your sunroof?

Which dealer fixed your sunroof?

Hi rave it was Wodonga Prestige. The VW Dealer for the Albury /Wodonga area. It turned out to be a faulty switch that was replaced under warranty.

Hi,
I have the same issue with my Passat 140TDI sunroof. It is squeaking while driving and as soon as you open it it will start creaking. Very annoying. My dealer tried to lubricate and tight some bolts in the sunroof, but the issue is still present. Not sure what to do at this stage...

Hi Guys!

Just an update of the sunroof rattles/creaks: McCarrols VW fixed the issue. They've replaced something in the sunfoof (possibly the entire sunroof assembly) and there are no rattles or creaks coming from it. Roof lining was dirty and McCarrols sent the car to the detailers again to fix it. My passat is in beige leather - and I received it back in the same perfect condition as before the repairs.

Cheers!

Austral VW fixed my sunroof creaks & rattles. They loaned me a car (almost new Passat wagon with a quite sunroof) and it took two days. The headlining had to come out but they did a great job. There is a second TPI document on the sunroof problem and I think they have it fixed now. They said there was new fasteners & some other bits.

My Passat was fixed weeks ago. Really tiny little bit rubber frictions but no knocking around noises. Pretty satisfied. They ordered fasteners to reattach the sunroof.

I brought my car to McCarrols 7 times now, last one was in December. It was quiet after they did something but the noise always come back. Last time they said, due to design issue, the roof lining will always be dirty overtime. Can you check what exactly did they replace? Or can you PM me your rego number so I can tell them to do the exact thing as your car?

Roof lining? You mean the roof cover rolling under the sunroof, right? or the lining above head?
