I have started to notice recently that my moon roof is constantly squeaking and rattling as I go over bumps and around hard turns. I will take this in, but is this something that can be easily remedied? Would this require replacing the whole moon roof?

Thanks

The rubber seal may be dry

My 2013 did this the first week i took ownership of it.

open the sunroof half way and get out of the car. From the outside looking down right at the front part of the sunroof there is a a plastic trim there with about 6 hex shaped bolts there. Either tighten or loosen those alittle and it solved my rattle. Sometimes loosening it releases the tension causing the squeak / rattle. Worked for me and another member so its worth a shot.

My extremely and annoyingly squeaky sunroof has been driving me nuts lately.
The squeaking has been going on for 2-3 weeks, and I've had the sunroof tilted up since then to avoid listening to the darn thing.
Now we had some rain so I finally had to do something. Googled for some help other than trying different kinds of silicone sprays etc. which I doubted would help in this case.

Alan's tip from 10 years ago was spot on!
Took me 2 minutes to do and the squeaking is now gone! What a wonderfully easy fix!!
Thank you very much, Sir!

Timely. Last winter my sunroof started to squeak/rattle for the first time and I mentally put it on the summer list to replace the outer seal. E39s were notorious for this, I think I did it twice DIY while I owned that car and a dealer did it once just before the warranty expired. Wind noise was also gradually increasing but it went unnoticed until the seal was replaced and the difference was apparent.

I still haven't managed to get to this since last winter and next winter is fast approaching. I'll take a look for those bolts and give it a try, though I may not know if it was successful until it's too cold to want to do the seal replacement. hmmm..

Anyone done the outer seal replacement before?

EDIT: Did you find them noticeably loose? I notice the original tip says "loosen or tighten".
