Sunroof tilt clunk

rationull · 04-21-2009, 02:39 PM

I've recently started getting a small clunking sound when tilting the sunroof on my 07 EX. It makes the sound when it stops, fully tilted. It may be weather dependent, but I'm pretty sure it hasn't always done this.

Does anyone else have this sound? Is there something I might need to tighten up there?

Push up and down on it, it may just need silencing grease. Should be warrantied.

Push up and down on it manually while it's up, to see if it's loose, you mean?

Bumper to bumper warranty is expired due to mileage.

Yeah, it will give a VERY small amount, but not excessively. it slides up then locks on a groove. something isnt right there. That will do it for the warranty then...

Doesn't have excessive give in it. Maybe I'll try lubing the track that the pin moves through to tilt the glass. Might just be thunking when it hits the end of its travel?
