Rattle Noise From Roof Over Bumps - keywords closed creak open shade sun sunshade tick

The following diagnosis might be helpful if the vehicle exhibits the symptom(s) described in the PI.

A rattle noise with the Ultra View roof in full open position may be caused by excessive clearance in the roof glass cable/guide to tube.

Replace the front guide cables.

Other potential noises with the headliner on Ultra View vehicles:

Check rear area of headliner, rear of coat hooks, forward of D-pillar, the potential exists for the rear washer hose or coaxial cable to touch the head impact foam causing a creaking rattling noise in the rear.

The 2nd row seat overhead console, if not retained properly to the roof, can cause a creak and rattle.

The thin piece of foam that is glued onto the headliner close to the B-pillar on both the driver and passenger side can have excess glue. If that glue touches off to the SMC frame it can make a ticking noise or rattle.

Please follow this diagnosis process thoroughly and complete each step. If the condition exhibited is resolved without completing every step, the remaining steps do not need to be performed.
