Does Sunroof Abnormal Noise Fall Under the Three Guarantees?
2 Answers
Sunroof abnormal noise does not fall under the three guarantees. The validity period of the three guarantees refers to the period during which the dealer provides free repairs, replacements, or returns to consumers due to automotive product quality issues, in accordance with legal conditions and requirements. When purchasing a car, it is essential to pay attention and carefully check whether the three guarantees policy is clearly stated in the contract before signing. The car sunroof changes the traditional form of ventilation, allowing wind to create an airflow that extracts the stale air from inside the vehicle. When the car is driving at high speed, air flows rapidly around the vehicle. When the sunroof is opened, a low-pressure area forms outside the car, and due to the difference in air pressure inside and outside the vehicle, the stale air inside the car is extracted, achieving the purpose of ventilation.
Whether a sunroof rattle is covered by the warranty depends on if your car is still within the warranty period. Generally, for new cars within two years or 60,000 kilometers, manufacturing defects like improper installation of the sliding rails causing rattling are covered. You can directly contact the 4S dealership for free repairs. If the warranty has expired or the rattle is due to improper operation, such as forcefully opening or closing the sunroof damaging the rails, you'll need to pay out of pocket. To prolong your sunroof's lifespan, avoid opening it on bumpy roads, regularly clean dust from the rails, and apply lubricant. If you notice any rattling, check the warranty details immediately—delaying repairs can lead to higher costs and affect driving safety.
