If you are already weary about getting a sunroof that concern will not fade with time. It will lead to you regretting the decision to get one and possibly this whole scenario repeating itself. You will look for every little thing to be wrong if you get one.

So basically you have no rattle!

Love my sunroof no issues at all. If I was any taller it would be an issue for headroom, I'm 6' tall.

Travis104 · 06-11-2014, 08:30 PM

Yeah, the q5 had the pano roof. It was nice while it was open, but closed it drove me nuts.

I think the sunroof cuts the headroom by about an inch inside, but I don't remember the exact measurement. I didn't think about it until after I got mine, then my g/f was wondering why I was sitting in the garage with my helmet on...lol

63000 miles, sunroof is still rock solid. I use it almost everyday.

Found an ashen grey no sunroof and no micro fiber and they won't match the price I was given on a better equipped black ZL1. The price I was given was 56 on the black and they gave me a "lowest offer" of 58.7 for the grey one. Kind of amazing.

Sunroof is better than no sunroof anyhow...I think they look "cheap" without it. Also, I don't believe you'll find a person on here that's ever had an issue with their roof rattling, leaking, or doing anything but letting sunshine in and being useful to have on nice days. I've never heard anyone who has one complain about anything but a small loss of headroom, which is also a non-issue unless you are over 6" and wear a helmet around all the time.

If you don't have one you'll wish you did.

21,000 miles and no rattles. I have never had a sunroof issue in any of my vehicles ordered with a sunroof. 3 GM and one Ford. I know my girlfriend loves it when sitting in the passenger seat.

My Zl1 is a convertible but I've had 8 gm trucks over the last 20 years all with sunroofs. No rattles.

When I get on the throttle, the lower sheild will open up a bit, the sun roof is fine.

I was impatient and now a teardrop falls each time I see a Camaro drive by with the sunroof open.

But at least I have the option of converting to T-Tops one day!
If I ever decide to ruin my car and spend a fortune that is

I love my sunroof and I will always choose one if it's available and I have never had any noise or rattle at all. I always wished that the sunroof would retract into the roof but after my purchase I now understand why it is not that way.

My only issue is that sometimes I push the button quickly for it to open in the vent position and it goes full open instead.

I like cruising with the top open early in the morning before the sun is too high in the sky and the temps get too hot and also in the late evening as the sun is setting.

TomF1 · 06-12-2014, 05:49 AM

I have a noise I can't find. It definitely in the driver compartment.
It a high pitched squeaky rattle, not quite cricket like.
And it's only on the highway with bumps.
Sounds like it's coming from door, seat or dash. Nothing I can reach or touch stops it.
Driving me crazy. I never even thought of sunroof. I check it out and report back. Going for weekend road trip
