How to fix squeaky roof?
My 07 Cooper S has developed a squeaky roof when driving on uneven roads/potholes. I can silence the squeaks/clicks by pushing up on the center of the rear glass panel. As long as I apply pressure the squeaking stops. I can sometimes push down around the rear roof panel before getting in the car and then opening the window before closing the door. Is this a DIY repair or does it have to go to the dealer? It didn't do this until the last 6 months or so. Anybody have any ideas on where to start to fix it?

where are you located? cold climate?
my car makes all kinds of noises cause of the cold, I just solved a bunch of them this weekend with DIY mods, recently the rubber trim where the glass meets the car started making a heck of a racket, cold dry and rubbing against eachother, so I went searching for some rubber moisturizer and while at pepboys the clerk said to put some tire shine on.
once he had said that it made perfect sense. So I did put some tire shine on and the noises went away, its basicly a rubber safe slick lube kind of stuff.
So after success with the door trim last night I put some on the rubber trim around the sunroof just cause. see if that works
last weekend I decded to take care of what I could. Its much quieter now.
hope this can help your problem.
