I have a 2003 MC tried felting some parts but nothing seems to do the trick, any ideas?

 

did you cover the little flaps that pop up when you open it?

 

bit completely but there were like a line where you could tell that something was wearing at them, but it didnt work

 

I found I had to put an extra layer of felt on the little flaps. One larger layer, and a smaller one directly under the larger one along the line which shows up from the wear. I read in another thread that eventually you'll have to replace the padding as is evidently wears out. Only time will tell for your particular MINi how often that might be.

 

Try tightening the aft T27 Torx screws that secure the sunroof in place. Just open the sunroof and look for the two T27 Screws that are fitted to the back of the sliders.

This was in the most recent issue of Modern MINI Magazine (Issue 22, May 2008, pg 42).

 

Thanks I will try these things and let you know how it works out

 

If this works you guys just made my day, that is quite annoying.

 

Please let me know if this solved your problem.

 

I had the same problem in my 02 Indi MC. Wanna know how I fixed mine? Well, the felt idea didn't work so I sold it and bought a 06 DS MCS and opted NOT to get the sunroof this time. I miss it sometimes, but not in the middle of winter when it rattled like mad and opening it to fix the problem was not an option...and I never looked back
