What Causes the Noise from the Sunroof of a New Car?
1 Answers
If there is noise when the sunroof is stationary, it may be due to loose components near the sunroof or substandard quality of the sealing parts. If the noise occurs when opening the sunroof, it could be an issue with the lifting mechanism. For new cars under warranty, it is recommended to have the issue addressed at a 4S dealership. Below are some maintenance tips for car sunroofs: 1. During car washing, avoid directing high-pressure water jets straight at the sealing ring. This can not only cause the sealing ring to deform under the pressure, leading to water leakage into the car, but also significantly damage the sealing ring. 2. On extremely bumpy roads, it is best not to fully open the sunroof, as excessive vibration between the sunroof and the sliding rails may cause deformation of related components or even damage the motor. Additionally, do not open the sunroof during rain or when washing the car. 3. The biggest concern with using a sunroof is water leakage. Proper use and maintenance of the sunroof can effectively prevent leaks. Before the rainy season, in addition to cleaning dust and sand from the sliding rails and gaps in the sealing strips, it is advisable to spray a small amount of plastic protectant or talcum powder on the sealing strips and other components.
