Passat (B5) :: 1999 - Sunroof Opening On Its Own

My girlfriend drives a 99 Passat and while driving the other day the sun roof opened on it's own. moving the switch did nothing. We had to manually close the sunroof. a few minutes later it did it again. Usually I'd tell her she's nuts and imagining things but i was in the car while it happened.

Passat (B6) :: Sunroof Keeps Opening / Tilting By Itself?

My mother keeps telling me her sunroof keeps opening (tilting) by itself and I didn't believe her until I was in the car when it happened. It just goes up by itself... Should I just bring it in?

Passat (B7) :: Sunroof Squeak / Squeal While Opening

When opening the sunroof, usually for the first time in a day, the sunroof will make a squeal kind of noise. Nothing appears to be in the tracks or anything.

Usually if I close it, and reopen it, it seems to go away (guess it re-lubed?)

Kind of embarrassing on a newish car (2014) with only 30k miles.

Passat (B5) :: 1999 - Sunroof Popping And Clicking

Our 99 Passat Wagon has had an issue with its sunroof for a little while. It sounds like it's REALLY making an effort to close and open. The entire car shudders a little when the sunroof is being opened or closed. The tilt feature also has a problem. When the sunroof starts to tilt up, the leading edge of the glass pulls back a bit leaving a small gap between the glass and the roof recess. Nothing new there, it's supposed to do that.

However, when it reaches the top of the tilt mode, the glass VIOLENTLY slams into the edge of the roof recess as if it was spring loaded. Not a pretty sight, it sounds horrible and I wonder sometimes if the glass can keep taking it.
We've had the car since it was new and it's never been in an accident. I'm thinking that the sunroof needs to be taken apart, cleaned, lubed up properly and put back together.

But before I do all of that, is there something else that I should check first? It almost feels like it jumped the track at one time and never seated properly.

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Sunroof Stuck Open / Making A Weird Noise Upon Opening

Bought my 2004 Lexi RX330 in June 2014 with 96k (now has 105k - I drive a lot). It is beautiful and I love it! However, I am NOT in love with the sunroof that is currently stuck open. It's been making a weird noise upon opening (think bag of chips crackly) for the past few weeks. Yesterday was gorgeous weather in TX, so it was open most of the day. Come time to put her to bed, the sunroof would not close. Making a horrible grindy/clicky noise and closes about 4 inches then stops... then it starts to open again. Weird! There's nothing I can see in the tracks that is stopping it. The passenger side looks like it would close, but the drivers side looks like it is stuck. Tried to take the sunroof motor out, but there is a metal bracket in the way. Besides the fact, what to do with the motor once I had it out...

Celica :: Makes Loud Creek / Popping Noise

I recently crashed my celica into a curb and had to replace the ball joint and the lower control arm on the right side. everything went well for a while but now there is a really loud creek/popping noise. it happens whenever i accelerate and come to a stop which led me to believe it was the cv axel going into the differential. but it makes the noise when the car is not running and i push down on the strut. i took it for a suspension inspection but they said they found nothing wrong with it.

Camry :: Loud Popping Noise When Sliding Sunroof Open

My 2007 Camry has developed a loud popping noise when sliding the sunroof open. It's as though the sunroof is getting caught under the vehicle roof before it moves to slide open. The motor labors pushing the sunroof past vehicle roof. I see no obvious obstruction. The sunroof makes no noise when going to the tilt position. I have tried the initialize process, but the problem persists.

Ford Super Duty (1999-2016) :: Steering Wheel Makes A Popping Noise Every Time Turn It

My steering wheel makes a popping noise at the same location every time I turn it, ie the 7:00 position. The popping is within the steering column inside the truck and sounds like its right behind the airbag. Its simply a popping noise and slight movement in the steering every time I turn the steering wheel from 12 to 7. I have no clue what it is and cant figure it out. My truck is a 2008 F250 2WD 5.4

This is a video of another person who appears to have the same exact problem, hopefully this will add some clarity to what I was trying to describe above. If you notice, when he turns it to the right, his steering wheel pops in the exact same location every time as well which is what mine is doing when I turn it to the left.

2010 f150 steering wheel pop - YouTube ....

Golf V R32 :: Opening Sunroof Causes Loud Vibration?

So today was above freezing.. [URL] .... I open the sunroof as I'm driving around town, and I notice a rather distinct rumbling noise.. I put my hand against it and discover the roof is vibrating harmonically. Which I've discovered seems to happen any time I have the sunroof fully open, over ~30mph (50kmh). If I close it one tick, the problem disappears completely, I guess as the airflow changes. Is this badly-designed aerodynamics, or actually something misplaced or misaligned in my sunroof?

Lexus RX 2004-09 :: Sunroof Randomly Opening When Driving

My Mom has an '04 RX330, and the other day the sunroof randomly opened, and she closed it with the button with no problem. For the last 3 days, this has occurred randomly (opening only - all closing is by her) and all occurrences are when she is driving (not parked).

I told her to wrap the fob in foil today to remove that connectivity and to see if the fob is to blame. We will replace those batteries anyway as I don't know that they have ever been replaced.

Golf/GTI VII :: One-touch Opening Quit Working On Sunroof

Noticed earlier today that my one-touch opening quit working on my sunroof. Release the switch and the sunroof stops moving. Push it back (to open) and it switches directions from whichever direction it was last moving. Hold it until it opens all the way and keep holding it, and it will start closing again (instead of stopping). Pushing the switch forward, backward, or tilting it has the exact same effect - it moves the sunroof in the opposite direction of the direction that it last moved.
