Solutions for the rattling noise in the Emgrand sunroof: 1. Check the sunroof sliding rails and apply some lubricating oil if necessary; 2. Inspect the sunroof's fixation, as looseness may also cause the noise; 3. The sunroof sealing strip, when exposed to prolonged rain or sunlight, is prone to aging. Open the sunroof fully and spray rubber conditioner on the sealing strip; 4. Adjust the sunroof screws. The Emgrand's body dimensions are 4632mm in length, 1789mm in width, and 1470mm in height, with a wheelbase of 2650mm. The Emgrand comes in two models with different engine displacements, equipped with a 1.5L naturally aspirated engine and a 1.3T turbocharged engine respectively.
If the sunroof of my Emgrand squeaks, I first check if there's dust on the sliding rails. Last time my car had this issue, it was due to leaf debris clogging the tracks, causing the glass to open and close unevenly. Cleaning it with a brush solved the problem. If cleaning doesn’t help, apply some special rail lubricant—the white paste kind—avoid using grease as it attracts dust. If the noise persists, inspect the sunroof seal; if it’s aged or deformed, it may rub against the glass. Replacing the seal costs just around a hundred yuan. As a last resort, check the screws—over time, the body frame may loosen, and tightening a few screws can eliminate the noise. Remember to rinse the rail gaps during car washes and operate the sunroof twice a month to maintain flexibility.
