Sunroof rattle noise

I like the idea of a sunroof but this thread is quite the turn off

Pretty glad i didn't get a sunroof now, this combined with all the leaks in the Volkswagen Alltrack group on Facebook. I also think we need solid shades in Australia, not a perforated blind.

Which dealer fixed your sunroof?

Hi rave it was Wodonga Prestige. The VW Dealer for the Albury /Wodonga area. It turned out to be a faulty switch that was replaced under warranty.

Hi Guys!

Just an update of the sunroof rattles/creaks: McCarrols VW fixed the issue. They've replaced something in the sunfoof (possibly the entire sunroof assembly) and there are no rattles or creaks coming from it. Roof lining was dirty and McCarrols sent the car to the detailers again to fix it. My passat is in beige leather - and I received it back in the same perfect condition as before the repairs.

Cheers!

Austral VW fixed my sunroof creaks & rattles. They loaned me a car (almost new Passat wagon with a quite sunroof) and it took two days. The headlining had to come out but they did a great job. There is a second TPI document on the sunroof problem and I think they have it fixed now. They said there was new fasteners & some other bits.

My Passat was fixed weeks ago. Really tiny little bit rubber frictions but no knocking around noises. Pretty satisfied. They ordered fasteners to reattach the sunroof.

I brought my car to McCarrols 7 times now, last one was in December. It was quiet after they did something but the noise always come back. Last time they said, due to design issue, the roof lining will always be dirty overtime. Can you check what exactly did they replace? Or can you PM me your rego number so I can tell them to do the exact thing as your car?

Roof lining? You mean the roof cover rolling under the sunroof, right? or the lining above head?
