No no and no. Its such an easy fix. Just open the soft cover, sit in the back seat and you can see those tabs right above the track. You don't need to remove or take anything off.

Hey IronCobra, thanks for posting your fix for this issue - the creaking I have with my moon roof is starting to drive me nuts. I have a couple questions for you before I try it on my truck...

- When you loosen the torx screw does the bracket slide down a bit to allow access for the tape and lubricant, or do I need to push the glass up to get in there?

- I'm pretty nervous about effecting the factory seal of the glass if I'm pushing the glass up to get in there with felt tape or lubricant and creating a future water leak... Also when tightening the torx screw. I should also note I have no idea how the moon roof is constructed. Is there a risk of hurting the seal and creating a leak in your opinion? Also, is there a stopper or something so I know how far up to "push the glass up" before re-tightening the screw?

I thought I had more questions but I must have either forgotten them or forgotten that I only had two.

Thanks again

The glass is sealed to the frame. When you loosen the screws the frame and glass will drop a little allowing you to stuff the felt between the roof and frame. When this is finished the stationary panel should be flush with the roof when finished as per specs. This is much easier with 2 people- 1 inside pushing glass up and tightening screws, the other outside telling when panel is flush with roof to tighten.

If you have to add felt or adjust glass to both sides, just do one side at a time, and check or readjust the 1st side if needed.

It's real easy and hardly takes anytime. As mentioned before just pay attention to the amount of effort used to loosen the screws so you can get them pretty close.

I actually had the factory tsb performed on mine and it stayed quiet for 2 weeks. After the squeaking returned I noticed the dealer used a blue lube. The factory specifies Dupont krytox which is clear. Frustrated, I cleaned all the seals with rubbing alcohol and lubed them with the krytox. I followed the tsb procedure exactly as written. That was on July 2. So far, not a single noise from the roof ( knocking on wood).

I'm sure the procedure will need to be done again, bit it's not a big deal, especially if it lasts several months.

I'm about to head home and apply this "Fix" as well...

Thanks for sharing.. I got in the back seat last night and pushed up on the back of my sunroof glass and it made the noise I am hearing... Do I need to do this fix for each of the 3 tabs on each side of the rear glass? Also I am confused as where to apply the friction tape

Yep, I'll be doing this very soon. It drives me nuts.

Mine just started doing this...37K miles and just out of warranty. I'm glad someone has figured it out. I'll try this soon as it' driving me bonkers!
