Creak/rattle in panorama sunroof/headliner area
I have a REALLY annoying creak in the headliner area. It's right behind the front sunroof in the headliner. If I press on the headliner it goes away, so I'm guessing it's something loose on the headline?
It exists whether or not the sunroof is open/closed/tilted, so likely not the sunroof itself. At least not the front one.
Anyone have this issue? How difficult is it to remove the headliner? Could find any tutorials specific to this car.

I also had this problem. Luckily mine was still under warranty so I brought it to the dealer. They had it for at least three days and said the factory forgot to put a piece of felt in there someplace during assembly. Not sure where the felt piece was left out exactly but the noise is gone now.

But the noise isn't coming from the sunroof? It's definitely the headliner. Opening and closing the sunroof makes no difference. I sprayed dry lube on the seals when I got the car and it did nothing.

YEah...I used a product called Jig-a-loo. I pushed the red pipe tip between the headliner and the car, sprayed it as deep as I could. Then I gave it a few hours to dry and set up. I haven't heard a single noise since.

There is a superb write-up on how to remove the headliner on this forum (titled "Headliner removal with pics...warning...very long!!!" posted by "Boston Driver"). I followed it and it took roughly 1.5hrs to remover headliner and another 2+ to put it back together.
Hope this is helpful.
