The causes and solutions for the sunroof noise in the 2011 RAV4 are as follows: 1. Insufficient lubrication of the sunroof sliding track: The noise may be due to poor lubrication in certain areas, and applying some lubricating grease can help. 2. Dust accumulation in the sunroof track: Keeping the sunroof open for extended periods can lead to dust buildup on the sliding track, and cleaning it should eliminate the noise. 3. Loose screws in the sunroof: Long-term use may cause certain parts or screws to loosen, and tightening them should resolve the noise. 4. Aging rubber seals: The sunroof's rubber seals, when exposed to prolonged rain or sunlight, can deteriorate, causing noise when opening or closing. Rubber conditioner can temporarily restore the seals' performance. Opening the sunroof fully and spraying rubber conditioner on the seals should eliminate the noise.
