How to fix a loose, rattling sunroof
The sunroof on my S60 has rattled ever since I bought the car, and the front drivers corner has always been so loose you could push it up and down, and so I have always driven around with the sun shade pulled across, which made the sunroof a bit redundant in the winter, so I had a look at it today, and it turns out to be a really simple fix!:thumbs_up:
On both sides of the sunroof, there is a plastic accordion style cover http://i1253.photobucket.com/albums/...d/IMGP0092.jpg Tilt the sunroof up, and pull the plastic gently away from the side of the sunroof working from the back http://i1253.photobucket.com/albums/...d/IMGP0094.jpg And fully away, there is no need to remove the bottom as it folds down easily without damaging itself, then you will see the gold Torx head bolts http://i1253.photobucket.com/albums/...d/IMGP0095.jpg One at the back http://i1253.photobucket.com/albums/...d/IMGP0096.jpg And one at the front, just behind the bolt head you can see one of the silver metal clips that hold the plastic piece in place http://i1253.photobucket.com/albums/...d/IMGP0097.jpg This is the one that wasn't done up on my car, although all of them were actually loose. to tighten them up you will need a star, or Torx head driver or bit, the size needed is T25 I also adjusted mine so that it now sits flush with the roof of the car, which has removed the wind noise as well, so that was another bonus :thumbs_up: When you are happy that all is well, fold the plastic back up and gently push it back onto the clips that hold it http://i1253.photobucket.com/albums/...d/IMGP0098.jpg Go for a test drive and enjoy your tight, rattle free sunroof, nice!!:thumbs_up::thumbs_up: Edit: Original Topic |
