How to Deal with the Sunroof Noise in Tiguan?
2 Answers
Sunroof noise is usually caused by loose screws. The solution is to use a T20 Torx screwdriver to slowly adjust the screws. As the tightness of the screws changes, the height of the front and rear parts of the sunroof will also adjust until the noise disappears. Here is some related information about sunroofs: 1. A car sunroof is installed on the roof and effectively promotes air circulation inside the vehicle, allowing fresh air to enter. It also expands the field of vision and meets the needs of mobile photography and videography. 2. Car sunroofs can be roughly categorized into sliding-out, built-in, built-in flip-out, panoramic, and curtain types, mainly installed in commercial SUVs, sedans, and other vehicle models.
I've encountered the issue of the Tiguan's sunroof making strange noises quite a few times before, mostly caused by dust accumulation in the tracks or insufficient lubrication. The creaking noise while driving is particularly annoying. I recommend first trying to clean it yourself: use a soft brush and a vacuum cleaner to remove dust and debris from the sunroof tracks, then apply a thin layer of specialized lubricant to the sliding rails—avoid using grease like butter that tends to attract dirt. If the noise persists, check if the sunroof screws are loose and gently tighten them. If the noise continues after these steps, it's likely due to frame deformation or motor wear, and you should promptly visit a professional repair shop for adjustment. Otherwise, it might accelerate sunroof damage or even affect driving safety. Develop a habit of regular maintenance, such as cleaning the track dust every quarter, as prevention is key.
