Mine has just come back from the dealer - second visit for noisy roof. I have been told that it needs a complete replacement and will have to go back in a couple of weeks. Fortunately still in warranty (just)

Sunroof rattle fix
I just got a 2022 330e, after a few thousand miles the sunroof started rattling/squeaking/creaking like many of you noted. I read through this thread and many of you are experiencing what I am...
I found that when I opened the sunroof, or pressed up on the back of the sunroof, it stopped. What I did to fix this was buy a $2.99 rubber adhesive strip from Home Depot. I cut about 1 foot of it, and stuck it to the inside back of the sunroof, where it the little groove lay's into the car rail. I took a picture, the rubber strip is where I'm pointing. The second pic is the stuff I bought. Hopefully this saves someone from a useless trip to the BMW dealership. Edit: I should also mention that before I placed the rubber strip, I sprayed a silicon lubricant on the existing rubber seals. I have since removed the rubber strip I added and the noise is still gone. So, likely was solved with the silicon spray. Last edited by Ckebz; 08-15-2022 at 10:26 PM.. |

I have a November 2020 production date G20 M Sport with sport suspension on 19 inch OEM Perelli summer run flats from the San Luis plant. My moon roof rattle developed around 20k miles. The sound was more like a large loose object tapping against something more than a high-pitched rattle and was most audible from the diver’s seat. I realized that after asking my passengers to help identify the source but they couldn’t hear it. When I had someone drive my car so I could listen to it, they heard it right away from the driver’s seat. The sound was most audible between 25-35 mph and went away entirely at highway speeds. Pushing up on the very back portion of the moon roof would also dampen it. I ordered the M lubricant costing $60 to save me the time of having the service center deal with it. I cleaned out all the accumulated dust buildup around the perimeter edge of the moon roof itself and the recess in the roof body with a microfiber towel and AMMO NYC Frothe. For the first application, I sprayed a single light layer around the edge holding a card stock mailer ad below the mood roof to prevent overspray into the interior. This first application improved the issue but shifted the noise to a more high-pitch more subtle rattle at 40-50 mph. I applied a second heavier spray layer and that eliminated all the noise entirely. I ended up using about half of the bottle. Here are some pictures in case someone can identify the manufacturer part number to buy it cheaper. It was a spray liquid with a consistency more like water than oil. |

This might be the TSB relating to the G20 sunroof squeak that apparently the 7 series shares.
How do we add a sticky to the TSB below? Anyone know? https://static.nhtsa.gov/odi/tsbs/20...T6EuEz9cqoJvDI

Sunroof shade rattle and closing issues
Sunroof shade rattles. If I press it upward at the rear the rattle stops.
It is VERY annoying while driving as everything else is super smooth and quiet. I also have an issue where the sunroof shade closes and then bounces back halfway. It's with BMW to fix under warranty and motor plan. Last edited by RoryYoung; 05-04-2023 at 02:38 AM.. |

First time it happened, I was able to put it back myself, went to the dealer and they didn't even wanted to look at the car as the service advisor said "well, it's working now". Then I tried again and I explained to them that it only happens when the sunroof is opened and car stays in the sunt for at least 30 minutes and they wouldn't consider even trying to reproduce the issue. Today it snapped again (and in the past few weeks it looked like was going to as it was making some noises when closing). I have 8 more months on a lease with the car, booked it in on Tuesday morning and if all they do is snap it back into place, that would support my decision to return the lease and look at another manufacturer. Every time after being out with sunroof opened 30 mins in the sun, this was the behavior: Last edited by iulianm; 05-07-2023 at 05:18 PM.. |

Gummi Pfledge should solve this issue most of the time.
Dry/cold air creates friction between the glass, seals, and other components. Clean the seals then rub the lubricant, bam car is new again. Amazes me that dealers can never figure this out. They'll keep your car for days, remove the headliner, etc. This should be the first recourse before all that. If lubricant doesn't solve it, then there is a more serious issue of course.

No further investigation into why the sunroof is hitting it, not closing and causing it to snap out when the car sits outside in the sun. |

The dealer was finally able to reproduce the issue with my sunroof not closing when parked outside in a hot day, they replaced the rain gutter and had to take it apart.
As bonus it seems that I also got rid of all the rattles as well however after all that worked detailed in there, it still doesn't close when warm outside. Last edited by iulianm; 05-24-2023 at 03:55 PM.. |

I'm taking mine to the dealer again tomorrow for creaking sunroof. I had it in two weeks ago and thought maybe the lubrication had done the job, but the last few days it is creaking as badly as ever. Just insane that $60,000+ vehicles can have such a widespread issue... anybody contacted BMW to complain?

I could see it not bothering somebody who listens to music quite loudly, but I am often driving with my daughter listening to Disney stories. That means I hear the creaking/ticking with every bump...

Had to go back to the dealership and drive the service manager around so he could hear it... I assume it will get fixed eventually, but very annoying that I have spent hours dealing with this. He as also annoyed, as he said he had hoped BMW would figure this out for the LCI, but instead my car is the lowest-mileage one he has encountered with the problem (it started around 2500 miles).
