Sunroof- no more rattles

mine does that but most cars with pop up sunroof do that running water noise around corners. why did renault put a sunroof in which is pop up. i will never have a car again with a pop up sunroof-pointless.
the handle has a black substrate behind it now, kind of like a piece of metal for suppresion and gives the flexible glass more rigitity. will take a photo after work and post it up tomorrow morning
i just gave up, it blends in with the panel distorsion and vibrating interior from 1000w sub!!! it sorta goes to the beat sometimes!

At my place we have worked out how to cure this rattle for good!
Taken a while to perfect it.
Basically we remove the head lining, take the sunroof out.
Then as you look at the roof from inside it has a strenghtener bar which is made of a flimsy metal plate, we pack silicon between the roof and the strenghtener and them apply heavy duty tape to hold it in place.
Also where the sunroof sits up against the roof we apply a small film of silicon and also fit tape to this.
Next thing is sunroof frame, remove all srews one by one and apply a small amount of silicon into the hole that the screw goes into, then refit screws.
Once all that is done and silicon has cured, refit all the bits back on.
We have done a fair few like this and I can say we have never had one come back!
Took a while to perfect this!
So at last a cure for the sunroof rattle
all we do is remove the roof lining seal and tighten all the 10mm bolts up properly, theres 2 t20 bolts which need tightening up to and grease the front hinges , also on the handle there is a bar which rests on a little pad we fit a rubber tube seal on that bar , weve not had one come back after that nice n quiet
Can you or any 1 else post up some pics of their modified handles, catches etc? I am interested to know what they have done to fix mine!Quote: Originally posted by richy on 18 March 2004

The main problem with the clios is that the roof is so flimsy, so behind the tape there is plenty of silicon that strenghtens the roof around the frame.
Once the silicon has cured, the sunroof is then fitted back in, then roadtested without the roof linig in, sometime its necessary to grind off the top of the sunroof frame fixing bolts(a renault recommended fix).
This has had a 100% success rate, and as of yet not one has returned!
