Hello all,
Last week I took delivery of the new Macan GTS.Lovely car,but yesterday on a journey over non-smooth roads I noticed a frequent creak/squeak (tic) noise coming from the sunroof area just behind the drivers side.Any advice/views ? - assume if it doesn’t autocorrect I’ll have to take back to dealer for evaluation which is annoying on a brand new car.

I find mine does that (Gen 2) and if I close the blind very slightly it stops. The other area to look at is the passenger headrest as this can make the same sound and give the impression its the sun roof.

Had similar problem. OPC cleaned roof track and dry lubed. Said if was probably all the sand that came over a few weeks back. If that hadn't worked roof panel would have had to be removed and more thorough inspection/work carried out. Get it back to OPC or it'll spoil all the fun. :cry:

Good advice - it is spoiling the fun,especially as only took delivery week.Other than this problem,car is a gem.Gave booked it into OPC but a 2 week lead time. :(

Car just back from OPC (1.5 days away).Really pleased to say the Gold accredited technician spotted the problem,removed the glass,cleaned the rails,and reapplied special synthetic lubricant to the seal areas and no more creaking,just quiet cabin bliss !
