Hey guys,

i was wondering if anyone could offer some suggestions to my sunroof problem. well, its more a noise rather than a problem, which i hope that it doesnt develop into.
the noise almost sounds like its stuck or lacking lubrication. could this be the case? has anyone already experienced this prob, if so pls suggest course of action. by the way, the noise is present when tilting/untilting as well as when opening straight back. thnx

 

I don't know if this will work for you, but I bought some white lithium grease and applied it to the rails. Took care of my sunroof noise.

 

yeah, Audi have a 65K (I think) service that includes greasing up the rails of the sunroof. What you're hearing is lack of lube.

I had it to until I used some lithium grease (note: use white LITHIUM grease)

 

yup I had the same thing I used..drummroll please...............White Lithium Grease</P>


It worked but the noise comes back evetualy......ooooh and ah be carefull with that stuff seein as you have to open the sunroof to get it on the tracks white lithium grease is not good for a cloth interiors<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"></P>

 

Hey guys,

thnx alot for all the replies..much appreciated. i kinda get the impression, and its just a hunch, that you guys think that white lithium grease is the way to go<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"> <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0"> <img border="0" src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

is it easy to apply? spray ? any particular brand that you would reccommend?

i'll give it a try. thnx again.

 

White lithium comes in a toothpaste like tube. just squeeze it out into the tracks. I was pretty liberal in applying it. And yes, be careful to not get it on the headliner or elsewhere. I don't know of any specific brands, what ever your auto part store sells is probably fine. I'll bet you could get some from theAudidealer for about 150 bucks. <IMG src=smileys/smiley16.gif border="0">

 

a hundred and what???? $150??? i may as well just buy a new sunroof...<img border="0" src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0">

 

Only kidding, about 3 bucks a tube at autozone.
