How to Deal with the Abnormal Noise of Leopard Sunroof?

[VanCassandra]

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.

As a veteran driver with over a decade of experience, my Leopaard car's sunroof once rattled for a while. I recall it was making a clattering noise on bumpy mountain roads. After some investigation, I found it was caused by insufficient lubrication of the sliding rails and aging of the sealing strips. After wiping off the dirt with a cloth and applying some mineral oil for lubrication, the situation improved significantly. However, for a long-term solution, it's best to lubricate the rails every few thousand kilometers to prevent jamming. If the noise worsens and is accompanied by wind noise or water leakage, it indicates structural damage that needs immediate repair. Don't hesitate to seek help from professional technicians at a 4S shop if you can't handle it yourself, to avoid affecting driving stability. Experience tells us that regular maintenance can save a lot on repair costs, so don't wait until minor issues become major problems to regret it.

I also drive a Leopard car. Common causes of sunroof noise are dirty tracks, loose screws, or aging sealing strips. Find a parking spot, manually open and close the sunroof a few times to identify resistance points, clean the track dust, and apply a thin layer of silicone-based lubricant. If the noise persists, check for component wear caused by body vibration, and tighten or replace parts if necessary. If DIY fixes don't work, visit a repair shop for inspection to prevent the noise from worsening.
