Solution for the new Magotan B8 sunroof rattling: Check the sunroof sliding rails and apply an appropriate amount of lubricating grease if necessary. Inspect the sunroof's fastening condition, as the rattling may be caused by looseness—tighten the relevant components accordingly. The sunroof sealing strip is prone to aging; spraying rubber conditioner can temporarily restore its performance. Adjust the sunroof screws to eliminate the rattling. In terms of appearance, the front fascia of this car features a widened chrome grille with horizontal slats, paired with rectangular-designed headlights on both sides and new wide chrome front fog lights, giving the new Magotan a more powerful visual impact. On the side profile, two sharp character lines extend from the front fenders to the rear, making the side lines more elongated and muscular, exuding a strong sporty vibe.
My Magotan B8's sunroof started squeaking last month, sounding just like an old wooden door opening and closing. After some research, I found the main culprit was dust particles accumulated in the sunroof rails. Since I often park under trees, tree sap and small gravel would fall on the roof and get stuck in the tracks when opening the sunroof. For DIY maintenance, I first vacuumed the rail grooves clean, then used wet wipes wrapped around a thin card to wipe both sides of the rails. Finally, I applied two drops of medical-grade liquid paraffin to the rails—this works better than regular grease as it doesn't attract dust. A friend suggested applying some dashboard wax to the rubber seals, and now the sunroof operates much more quietly. If the noise persists, it might be due to loose mounting screws, which is best handled by a 4S shop with professional tools to avoid stripping the threads. Regular cleaning is really important!
