How to Solve the Sunroof Rattle Issue in Raeton CC?
2 Answers
Changan Raeton CC sunroof rattle indicates severe lack of lubrication in the slide rails. The slide rails should be inspected for deformation and promptly lubricated. Below is an introduction to Changan Raeton CC: 1. Changan Raeton CC is the first model under Changan's new design language, positioned as a sporty midsize sedan. Its 'butterfly-wing' grille, paired with headlights that gently 'breathe' upon unlocking, makes the vehicle more than just a mechanical means of transportation. 2. For the interior, the Changan Raeton CC features a warm-toned design with exquisite silver trim panels, creating a cozy yet simple and stable atmosphere, fitting for a family-oriented B-segment sedan. 3. In terms of space, when the rear seats are fully occupied by three passengers, the excellent lateral space and low floor allow all three to comfortably find the perfect position for a 'Ge You slouch.' The trunk can easily accommodate three large suitcases, which is more than sufficient for family use. 4. Regarding features, the Changan Raeton CC is equipped with the In-Call intelligent internet central control system, along with LED headlights, ventilated and heated seats, a 360-degree panoramic camera, and ACC adaptive cruise control.
After two years of driving my Raeton CC, the sunroof started creaking like an old wooden door opening and closing, which was particularly annoying. As an experienced DIY mechanic, I figured the main causes were likely insufficient lubrication or dust buildup in the tracks. I tried using a silicone-based automotive sunroof lubricant—first thoroughly cleaning the tracks and small crevices to prevent tiny stones from getting stuck. After spraying the lubricant and operating the sunroof a few times, the noise improved significantly. If the creaking persists, check if the sealing strips have hardened with age—a bottle of rubber conditioner spray can soften them. If the issue remains, it might be loose track brackets needing tightening or deformed tracks requiring replacement. I recommend quarterly sunroof maintenance: cleaning debris and lubricating the tracks, costing just tens of RMB—saving money and hassle. Never use regular engine oil as it attracts more dirt and worsens the noise. Always ensure the car is parked safely before working.
