What Causes the Sunroof to Make Noise When Driving on Bumpy Roads?
1 Answers
Car sunroof noise on bumpy roads can be attributed to the following reasons: 1. Insufficient body rigidity: If the vehicle lacks structural rigidity, subtle body flexing may occur on uneven roads, causing misalignment noises from windows. The sunroof may produce abnormal sounds in such cases. 2. Frequent sunroof operation: Regular use of the sunroof during daily driving wears down the lubricating grease in the tracks, eventually causing noise at the connection points between the glass and rails. 3. Poor factory assembly: If the sunroof was improperly installed during manufacturing, abnormal sounds may develop after some time of use. 4. Weather damage to seals: Prolonged exposure to rain or sunlight can accelerate aging of sunroof seals. Rubber conditioner can temporarily restore their performance.
