Thanks mann! 2 weeks with the dealer and service department and they had scheduled to remove the entire roof to investigate further and just tested it after applying this fix and not a single creek. Wow!! awesome video!!
Great to hear!
I just did the exact same process to my 2018 Lariat. Worked like a champ. I have been trying to find that noise for over a year. It has driven me nuts. THANK YOU for this video. I also used the exact same spray.
@@agrobs941 not all of them do it, but when one does usually takes care of it. Glad you got it done
Wow thanks so much for posting this, took me 10 minutes and the noise is gone! Thank you.
you are a life saver, 2020 king ranch F250 diesel 8k miles. first half of the pano roof started rattling from minor bumps and even closing my driver door.
I used the same stuff you used, got a can at walmart for $6 and it no longer rattles. Thank you !!
Perfect, thanks for posting dude! Worked great on my 2019. Couldn't find the stuff you used so got Blaster silicone spray lube instead and worked great. I used an old gift card instead of a knife, did the job perfectly.
any silicone lube work? Or what did you buy exactly?
PacFan! I think everyone should send you a donation for all the things you've posted to help others fix their sun / moon roof issues. I'm glad I had the opportunity to meet you even though I'm half way across the US from ya!!!👍👍. Thx pal! Cuz of you my broken rails on my 2015 works as slick as it was new!! Thx again!!👍
Man thanks so so much for posting this video! It worked great! I found the same product you used at Walmart for about $6 and it worked like a charm! No more random rattle in my brand new raptor with the twin panel roof! Thank you again!
I just bought a brand new raptor and the same thing is happening... WAs very disappointed since this was my first ford with a moonroof. Does any silicone lube work, I can't seem to find this stuff.
@@Jordan-md3uc I was able to find it at Walmart in the camp/RV section
I have to tell you. My peanut brain can’t understand how this lube will make my 2018 raptor pano from making noise. But it sure as hell worked. Thanks so much. Your the man.
It IS weird how a rubber-to-metal interface can make so much noise, but it does. It's not all of them, either. I guess the fit has to be "just right" for the noise to occur.
I thank you from bottom of my heart for sharing this. Did the same for my raptor and the rattle is completely gone. I was thinking taking it to the dealer and get it fixed. saved me couple of hundreds $$.. I was hitting potholes intentionally and heard nothing!!!!
Works well! A couple times a year seems to do the trick. Used an old gift card to spread the lubricant down into the seal.
Yep, that works too. I've been using an old insurance card lately. The old dull knife I had in the video finally fell apart.
I wanted to leave you a thank you comment as I took your advice and bought some of this spray and it fixed my VW panoramic sunroof issue! Thanks again!
Holy cow it worked. I have hated my 2020 platinum for 2 years. Not anymore, thank you!
It’s funny that the Ford dealership couldn’t figure this out and tell me. Thanks!
They want the money.
Thank you SO much for these. I am going to try and fix my own sunroof, and I’ll do this sealer from now on too. Really, you are a life saver. $3k repairs is completely undoable for most people. I’ll let you know how it goes. Other videos have you remove the whole headliner! I didn’t watch past that. The dealership said the cables need to be replaced too, and the whole assembly is $2800+ labor. I’ll try just the arms first. Although I can’t put it in vent. My buttons don’t even do anything since it jammed. Thanks again!
Some dealers will only do the arm replacement under warranty, and if it's out of warranty they will only replace the entire track.
I kind of get it...Whenever the arms have failed, it's always possible that the incident has also hurt the track, too. Or might lead to track failure later on.
And they don't want the customer back there in 5 months yelling at them because they now definitely need a new track and they wasted money on the arms.
So I always tell my customers that this works nearly all the time, and I try and catch any lower track breakage at the time, and just stop with the arms and tell them they need the whole thing.
But I understand why dealers do that when it's customer pay and not warranty...it's covering their butt, too....there's such a huge difference in price, though that I'd just give the customers the options and let them choose.
All that aside, you have to get it vented to do the repair. If it's mostly shut, you can still remove the front glass, and then you should be able to find the broken pieces that are stopping the movement and get it vented.
Thanks for sharing this. Have been trying to figure the rattle out through owning 2 different F-150’s with the twin panel glass roofs.
Guys I fixed mine in 10 minutes. It’s just the two screws on the sides. Pop it up and use an Allen wrench to tighten it in after pushing the roof up into place. put the covers back on the sides, done!
Thanks so much! My 2018 F150 sunroof was creaking when going down the road and it was making me crazy! A little silicone spray and a small plastic pry bar did the trick! Thanks again!
Worked like a charm. Makes no sense how but it works
This rattle has been driving me nuts. (Well any rattle drives me nuts). Thanks for the tip. Can’t wait to try it on my 2019 King Ranch.
I just used this product as described in the video. Worked great.
I have a "clunk" type noise on my 2020 Lincoln Aviator panoramic roof. Dealer can't figure it out, gonna try this and see if it does the trick. Instead of a knife, I may use a thin plastic trim tool or maybe my wife's credit card. Thanks for the vid!
Update, this greatly reduced the noise I had but didn't eliminate it completely. Instead of hearing it constantly I hear it occasionally. I'll lube again soon and hopefully that'll be the end of it. Thanks again.
Thank you for the video!! I have a 2020 Raptor and at 10k miles it’s already showing up. This is much easier than going to the dealer.
Thanks ! I have a 2018 expedition, the sunroof noise was driving me crazy , dealership can’t hear very well .
Hello Sir, thank you for taking the time to make these videos.
I did the initiation on my f150 like it showed on your other video.. but I interrupted the process midway.. is there another thing I could do to reset the partial reset?
Thanks a lot, I appreciate it!!
I tried it on my 2014 MB E350 with the same noise. I think it may have made it worse. Any suggestions.
I used the exact products you described and it worked perfectly. I had thought this rattle was coming from the passenger door after Ford called the vehicle back and fixed the door latch that was part of a Safety Recall. They adjusted the latch and told me the rattle was in the sunroof and to fix it would be anywhere from 200 to possibly over 2,000. I was going to just let it rattle until I ran across this video. Thank you for posting the information. I used a small putty knife and it worked great on the rear panel. So far no more rattles! I will drive to NC if I ever need a sun roof repair! You obviously know what you are doing! Is there anything to lubricate on the shade that opens and closes separate from the glass? It creeks and groans when it opens and closes? Thanks again!
Unfortunately the shade noise usually comes from the "scroll" that it rolls up on. It has some kind of spring inside it that makes noise. Only solution I've seen is to replace it.
Do you have an affiliate link setup so you gain commission on this product? If not you should. Lots of us are buying it because of your knowledge
I don't. I'm not even sure how I would go about striking up such a relationship.
Thanks. Gonna do this today. Back edge of sunroof on RAV4 driving me nuts. Question: Why not open the sunroof to apply this? Mine pops open at the back.
F-150 rear glass is fixed. Only the front one moves
I’d say just tilt the sunroof over scratching your paint. Use a rag and do it that way… I think there’s something called AT205 for rubber
The back glass is fixed. It doesn't move.
Hi, i have a question, is rv care seal conditioner used here safe to metal and /or to body paint ??? Sorry just wanna make sure.. big thanks in advance😊
I've never had a problem with it harming the metak of the paint so I would say yes.
You could use any silicone spray. That particular product in the video has its own straw built-in and it's kind of easier to dispense
@Pacfanweb ok will do, thanks a lot. Hopefully this will solve the creeking and/or flexing sound by the roof, 😊
What about a loud pop crack when going unto uneven road like pulling up to a gas station and the car flexes i get a loud pop from the sunroof on my 2019 acura rdx .
You can try it. I won't hurt I've not looked at one of those roofs, so not familiar with them.
Can you use a credit card instead of a dull knife.
Sure! Just need something skinny and firm to get between the rubber and the roof opening
Nice. But use a credit card or ruler or thin plastic etc instead of blade
Does this lube work with any vehicle model? I have a golf vw 2017 panaromic sunroof
If the two glasses touch, then this should help
Thank you!!
Thank you
Seen people say dis last for hours and the noise is back. Is that true ?
Depends on what you use, I guess. The heavier body lube you use, the longer it'll last, most likely.
I've used Liquid Wrench Chain lube and it's done pretty well. Ideally, you'd use a grease and not a liquid, but it's a lot harder to get in there. I've done a bunch of these and only ever seen 2 of them again.
Nice vid!
I assume I could use a WD-40 lub?
You could, but I don't think regular WD would last that long. I now prefer a silicone spray. Liquid Wrench silicone is really good.
A card would be a safer choice than a knife!
Depends on the knife. Mine is very dull, no chance of cutting it. Also depends on the glass. Some I've seen even a card won't get in there, too thick. Others, it would work fine.
Some are just really tight. That's just what I use, anything that will slip between the rubber and the roof and you don't care if it gets the lube on it will work
@@SealofPerfection i see. Fair enough
Using a knife is not a good thing to use
"DULL" knife. It's perfectly fine if you know what you're doing. Use something else if you're not comfortable with it.
After buying the spray from Amazon for a probably overpriced product, this DID NOT work at all
