It happened when I took delivery of my LT, when the salesman was sitting in the passenger seat. He just kinda looked at me and didn't say anything.

It happened over the first 3 weeks some times, but has since worked itself out. I've had the car for about 3 months and doesn't do it anymore. Just needed a bit of self lubing I suppose.

I have that too. Seems to come and go. More pronounced is the rattle that the sunroof makes when I have it in the tilt up position. ( of course, I SWEAR I can hear the muffler bearings too ) Im really hyper sensitive to rattles and squeeks.

2 years and 9 months w/o any sunroof squeaks. Although I did have to have the sunroof frame replaced about a year and a half ago.

My sunroof did make some squeaking noise when opening/closing. I took it in for service and they basically greased up the mechanical components (tracks and guides and what-not.) Since then, no noise.

me 2... i took it in ad me ad the body/glass guy found a little pebble in the track... if you climb up there on your running board and look you can see how easy it would be for a lil stone or bug or whatnot to get in the track.. the moto then forced the pebble along the track making a god awful noise.

My sunroof squealed from day one. A trip to the dealer left me with - a sqeaky sunroof. Idiots. I lubed the rails myself with bicycle chain oil and it's been perfect ever since.

Mine pretty much squeaks/squeals from day one (almost 2 months old/5K miles)about 70% of the time. Does not bother me that much to take it in, tho i might check 'n lube something when i get the urge.
