How to Deal with Sagitar Sunroof Abnormal Noise?
2 Answers
Here are the causes and solutions for abnormal noise in the Sagitar sunroof: 1. Aging of the sunroof rubber seal or sealing ring. The sunroof rubber seal is prone to aging when exposed to rain or sunlight for a long time. Rubber conditioner can temporarily restore the performance of the seal. Open the sunroof fully and spray the conditioner on the sealing rubber. Alternatively, replace the sunroof rubber seal. 2. Loose sunroof screws. Loose screws can cause abnormal noise in the roof and sunroof, and even pose a risk of the sunroof falling off. The solution is simple: locate the sunroof screws and tighten them. 3. Dust particles in the sunroof sliding track. Repeated opening and closing of the sunroof inevitably leads to dust accumulation in the track gaps. When dust accumulates to a certain extent, friction occurs during sunroof operation, causing abnormal noise. Use a towel to remove the dust, and regular maintenance is important.
I noticed my Sagitar's sunroof is really annoying with its noises, especially the rattling sound when opening and closing on bumpy roads. You can first check yourself—there might be dust or small stones accumulated in the sunroof tracks. Use a soft brush to clean it, then spray some automotive-specific lubricant, like silicone-based grease, but avoid using hard tools to prevent scratching the tracks. If the noise persists after lubrication, check if the rubber seals are aging or if the guide rails are deformed—older Sagitars sometimes have this issue. Regular maintenance is key: wipe the tracks monthly and avoid opening the sunroof in dusty areas to prevent blockages. If the problem continues, visit the dealership—technicians can tighten screws or replace parts. Don’t delay, as leaks could lead to costlier repairs. Addressing it promptly will make driving much more comfortable.
