The solution for the abnormal noise in the Nissan Qashqai sunroof is: 1. Clean the dust in the sunroof groove; 2. Replace the sunroof rubber seal. Taking the 2021 Nissan Qashqai as an example, it is a compact SUV with body dimensions of: length 4401mm, width 1837mm, height 1593mm, wheelbase 2646mm, fuel tank capacity 57l, and body weight 1444kg. The 2021 Nissan Qashqai features a front McPherson independent suspension and a rear multi-link independent suspension. It is equipped with a 2.0L naturally aspirated engine, delivering a maximum horsepower of 151PS, maximum torque of 194Nm, and maximum power of 111kW, paired with a 7-speed continuously variable transmission.
I've encountered the issue of the X-Trail's sunroof rattling several times. At first, I thought it was a big deal, but most of the time, it can be fixed on your own. First, check the sunroof tracks for dust and debris, and clean them with a soft brush—avoid using hard objects that could scratch them. If the rattling persists after cleaning, try spraying a small amount of silicone-based lubricant—just a thin layer, not too much. Sometimes, loose screws can also cause noise, especially the side mounting screws; gently tighten them with a wrench. Aging rubber seals can also lead to rattling—if they're not too worn, applying rubber conditioner can help. For prevention, clean the sunroof tracks monthly and keep them dry to avoid many issues. If you're handy, fixing it yourself is great—saves money and hassle.
