Panormaic roof seals creaking as temp goes down
Has anyone else noticed that their panny roof seals creak as the temperature gets lower outside as you are driving down the road? It starts at about 55F and below..

yeah my dash has a rattle too, sounds like its coming from where the airbag is. I had one in my comand screen and they lined the inside with felt and now its fine. my rear driver door has one too. its too bad the service intervals are so far apart from eachother, because if i bring it in for these issues and they dont hear it they will charge me for diagnostic time

I got one on the right passenger side. The inside door piece attached to the handle is a bit looser than on the drivers side and sometimes giving it a good shake can get the rattle to go away for a while (though it will probably make it worse in the long run). Could also be a rattle coming from the right side dash, but no idea from what since I don't usually ride with a passenger and hard to drive fast over bumps and such while leaning over into the passenger seat and pushing around on the dash...

The right side dash rattle for me was the air vent between glove box and passenger door. Had to grab it and twist it a little while pushing in and it finally stopped.

I tried WD-40 silicone spray on the seals and it seemed to address the issue slightly, but never good enough. The other interesting thing is that if it rained, it would lubricate the seals enough for the creaking to go away. As soon as it dried out, however, the creaking would start right back up.
They're currently addressing a dash rattle that seams to be coming from the base of the windshield...which has been replaced already because of a good size rock I took to the windshield around 3k miles.
ANYWAY
take it in to the dealer and they'll take care of you. Lubing the seal isn't going to ultimately solve the issue.
