Technical Service Bulletin
Technical Background
The noises can be caused by movement in the clips that attach the headliner to the sunroof frame or movement
between components of the sunroof frame.

Production Solution
Felt material has been added to points of contact in production.

Service
1. Test drive the vehicle (preferably with the customer) and duplicate the noise. Applying pressure to
areas of the headliner around the perimeter of the sunroof will eliminate the noise, confirming the root
cause.
2. Remove the
headliner. The clips
shown in the illustration
will need webbing
adhesive tape
(D 004350A2) (Figure
1).
