R50/53 sunroof creaking?
Just received my MCS, sunroof seems to creak, snap, crackle, and pop when it's popped open to vent for air. No problems when fully open. Has anyone else experienced this?
Otherwise, rattles, just wrinkly driver side seat.
Thanks!
Sorry if this is a repost.

Welcome lounytoon :smile: (is there some significance to the non-conventional spelling of "looney"...just wondering)
There are lots of threads about creaking, rattling, groaning, and otherwise vocal sunroofs. Fortunately, these can be fixed and generally seem to be a known issue to dealers. The fix may be a simple adjustment (which is what they'll naturally want to try first) or if after repeated attempts that doesn't work, there's something called a "sunroof cassette" replacement which basically replaces all moving parts of the sunroof except glass. This was what was required on my car, but it did do the trick.
Obviously, this is all warranty work. Assuming your dealer isn't a total jerk (and pretends to be deaf), they'll have to address the problem.
Good luck!
