Hi. Car went in on Monday am. It’s still there and I have not heard anything. It was in for another issue as well. I did confirm with my foreman that the top down approach was what he was told to do using felt tape and removing the glass. Keep you posted.

Excellent that your foreman also confirmed top-down. Just dropped off my car as well today. FWIW, they gave me a loaner A6 which the foreman also fixed the moonroof noise (apparently, this guy had to do 4-5 new A6s they received off truck that all exhibiting same noise). This loaner was whisper quiet.. even while going up my rather steep driveway curb. So I am hopeful. Please keep me informed and good luck.

So got car back today. Noise is almost all gone. Driving over bumps and dips during turns exhibits NO noise at all— which was my primary issue. So glad this was resolved. There was however still a slight noise while turning on driveways with steep incline, but nothing like before. Would say reduced this noise about 85%, which I can live with. Not going pursue it any further unless noise comes back worse. I do have the work invoice if anyone wants to see. Good luck.

Finally got car back since there were 3 separate tac cases to deal with. Drove about 10 miles home. Various road conditions. 36 degrees. All roof noise so far is gone. Will continue to monitor. Top down approach felt insulation applied to rear areas of roof frame and liner.

NOISE FINALLY SOLVED FOR GOOD— After nearly 6 weeks from felt taping sunroof assembly, noise starting coming back on turns and inclines. Brought back and foreman replaced entire sunroof assembly. Took over a week to get it shipped from Germany, and was huge job bc the 2019 models require cutting out seal on front roof line (apparently unlike the other A6s, the front part of roof of the C8 is an entire glass piece). Anyways, got new sunroof installed and noise is completely gone. Car cabin is whisper quiet across all turns and all inclined angles. Just wanted to let you guys know , in case anyone else is bothered by persistent roof noise.

Good luck. I’ve also heard from shop foreman that there will be a new TSB coming out about these sunroof noise issue, where they will be instructed to install these spacers in between the sunroof assembly and substrate. Apparently lots of complaints from the A7s and A6s.

My local dealer used the felt tape approach (had to drop the headliner and replace one of the fasteners). Noise is 75% gone, but I still get a creaking glass turning onto an incline (like turning into my driveway). Dealer is telling my that the felt tape approach is the only direction they have from Audi, but I’m making an appointment to take it back in.
I also have an issue where the break pedal is very move (zero movement) upon starting. Pressing the start button turns on the accessories, but a 2nd press with the brake pedal mashed down is required for the engine to turn over. The frequency of that happening is increasing...
