Part # Foam Blocks in Sunroof? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

Hi guys.

I've been searching parts catalogues for the part # for the foam blocks that are located near the rear of my 2011 Camaro SS's sunroof. I think these are probably used to help with sound deadening since they sort of stick to the lip of the opening and get sandwiched between the glass and roof, possibly to avoid rattling.

I noticed the adhesive on mine are wearing off and they've become warped because the sunroof has started clamping them at an awkward angle.

I can take pictures if it's not entirely clear what I'm talking about. I've been unable to find these mentioned in any parts diagram.

Anybody know the part # or have general replacement instructions? Part of the block looks like it goes deeper into the roof in a "L" shape, with the base of the "L" sticking into the roof itself — I'm not sure if I can just yank this out.

Thanks

I have a feeling nobody knew what the heck I'm talking about, so here is a picture. They are 3 felt-like strips of padding. They basically hug around the area where the sunroof visor recesses back into the roof and the area where the glass itself makes contact with the car when it's fully down. Any idea what the part # is or is this aftermarket? I got my 2011 used, so I have no idea if it's some aftermarket attempt at sound deadening, but I am getting some rattle now due to the fact that the glass isn't making even contact. The strip nearest to my phone is pretty messed up.

They are probably part of the frame which is a few hundred dollars. Not every nut, bolt, or foam piece has an individual part number. Sorry.

"Frame" as in the sun roof frame?

I'm surprised if nobody else has ever needed to replace these though. Anyway, I'll keep looking at options — maybe if I just take it off entirely and put a couple strips of felt tape side by side it'll suffice.

Go to GMPARTSHOUSE.com or GMPARTSDIRECT.com Put your car's info in, there are a few parts to the sunroof, frame, glass..... No foam pieces.
