Default Crackling noise with sunroof while close!!!

I brought my car in about 3 times now
1. Abnormal noise -- result was normal with ABS
2. Defected passenger window (PIT) -- result replaced
3. Wind Noise -- result normal
Now Im thinking about bringing it in but -- it's been a hassle for me
so any help would do wit a DO IT YOURSELF thing...

It needs silicone put on the rubber gasket around the glass. Dealers do this as the fix...

LOL - very true. Also, try to use one without any petroleum in it, as this will deteriorate rubber

I got the same problem. Took it to the dealership and they heard nothing. Why do they always have to hear it, we drive the cars not them. It is like they don't believe us. Can't they just look in the sunroof area and see if there is a problem? Damn these service people **** me off sometimes!
