Grease has been ordered.

If Adabofoppo is reading this, where exactly do you grease the sunroof? Is it the seals or the mechanism itself?

This fella said his dealer found lube for him:

I ordered some of what Adabofoppo used on his, and he said it worked. It’s like a stick of dry grease, so it should work.

What does it sound like? My coworker with a 7.5 says his has it, but I haven’t heard it, maybe I’m oblivious or maybe its because no only have 2600mi on mine.

Just under 5k on mine, but it sounds like two pool noodles rubbing together. It’s not super loud, and can be drowned out by the radio, but it’s annoying still.

This is why you don’t buy a vw past 30k

Eh, it’s just bad grease from the factory. Not saying it’s where it is built, but the German cars don’t seem to have this issue. Actually, most of their reliability issues come from the Mexican factory built cars.

My Fiesta was already at the dealer having the back repainted by now, because the poorly installed hatch trim piece was eating away at the paint.

My Toyota has had at least 3 sets of gaskets in it’s life.

Seems unacceptable on a new car, but what do I know.

I'll keep an eye out for it. Only problem on mine is the left rear door squeaks when i close it.

I haven’t noticed that. Just the creak, everything else is fine. In fact, the creak only really happens when it’s super cold(for South Carolina, so below 45).

You called?

Gummi Pfledge will sort it out. Use it on the rubber seals around the edges of the sunroof.

I think that mine is cre a king less now that I’m at 39,000 miles. I can’t remember the last time that I heard it, but I think it tends to make more noise in the colder months and we only just got there again .
