How to Deal with the Abnormal Noise of Leopard Sunroof?
2 Answers
Abnormal noise in the Leopard sunroof indicates a severe lack of lubrication in the sliding rails. It is necessary to check whether the sliding rails are deformed and perform lubrication maintenance in a timely manner. Below are the precautions for car sunroof maintenance: 1. During the use of the sunroof, clean it regularly. After 2 to 3 months of use, the sunroof should be cleaned, mainly to remove dust and particles from the gaps of the sunroof. When cleaning, use a cloth to first remove the dust on the sealing strip, and after wiping it clean, apply a small amount of butter to the sliding rail tracks. 2. When the vehicle is parked and unused for a long time, clean it regularly. For example, use fine talcum powder to clean the sealing ring and other sunroof components, which can effectively extend the service life of the components.
I've also encountered the annoying problem of a rattling sunroof while driving. Last time, my Leopard car's sunroof would squeak as soon as I opened it, so I decided to fix it myself. First, I parked on a flat surface, opened the sunroof, and used a cotton swab dipped in medical alcohol to clean the tracks, removing accumulated dust and sand. Then, I applied a special silicone lubricant for sunroofs. Be careful not to use cooking oil or butter, as they attract dirt and can develop odors. After finishing, I closed the sunroof and tested it—the noise was significantly reduced, saving both money and time. If the noise persists after cleaning, it might be due to loose parts, such as screws or clips wearing out. In that case, you'll need to check and tighten them or consider replacing the parts. Regular maintenance is crucial; cleaning the tracks every quarter can prevent bigger issues.
