How to Deal with the Rattling Noise of Camry's Sunroof?
2 Answers
Solutions for the rattling noise of Camry's sunroof include cleaning dust and debris from the slide rails and applying lubricating grease to both sides of the slide rails. Apply rubber restorer to the sealing strips or replace the sealing strips. Tighten the fixing bolts and related components inside the sunroof ceiling. Introduction to the Camry car: 1. Body dimensions: length is 4900mm, width is 1840mm, height is 1455mm, wheelbase is 2825mm, fuel tank capacity is 60 liters, and trunk capacity is 593 liters. 2. Power: equipped with a 2.0L engine, maximum power is 131 kilowatts, maximum power speed is 6600 rpm, maximum torque is 210 Newton meters, and maximum torque speed is 4400 to 5200 rpm.
My Camry has also experienced sunroof rattling issues several times, mainly caused by dust or sand particles stuck in the tracks creating squeaking noises. I first use a small vacuum or air gun to blow debris off the tracks, being careful not to scratch the surface with hard objects. Then I apply specialized silicone lubricant spray designed for sunroofs, coating both the tracks and seals evenly to allow penetration – never use regular engine oil as it accelerates dust accumulation. If the noise persists, I check for loose track screws and gently tighten them with a wrench. Aged rubber seals can also cause friction noises; I clean them with water and treat with rubber protectant. If ineffective, it might indicate clogged drainage or motor failure – in such cases, I immediately visit the dealership for inspection to prevent structural damage. For prevention, I always close the sunroof and use dust covers when parked, plus clean the tracks during car washes. With these precautions, rattling rarely occurs.
