Sunroof rattle 1999 HSE - Land Rovers Only

Smalk · 02-06-2005, 09:31 PM

Hi all-

I have an annoying sunroof rattle that I cannot seem to get rid of. It only surfaces when the roof is closed. I can stop it temporarily by opening then closing the roof, but it returns within about one minute.

It sounds like plastic but I'm not sure.

Any ideas?

My 96 4.0 does that as well mine in the cover that rattles and not figured how to stop it yet other than opeining ti all the way up. its more noticeable in the winter...when it cold. Summer now and I havent noticed it as much now.

Check that the sunroof glass screws are secure. If not, tighten them up.
Take a drive to verify the rattle has gone. If the rattle still persists, it is probably the sunroof assembly is loose. You will have to remove the headliner and the sunroom assembly which will need a sealer applied.
Good Luck and lets know how you go.
