Mechanic for American Airlines. GSE (ground equipment) 38 years. Worked on everything from Lawn mowers to Boeing 747's.
So I have the creaking/ bumping sound coming from the rear of the moon roof. Read a few threads on here about the screen being the culprit. Mine is the rear of the glass panel creaking. I can push up on it and it makes the little thumping noise that's been driving me crazy for a few months now. I tried tightening the torx bolts that run along each side, but that did nothing. Anyone else run into this? A solution.

Never mind. Right after I posted this. The thread on cleaning the rear seal or lubricating it popped up. I'll try that tomorrow. Sounds like exactly the issue have.

Being that the sunroof is so finicky, I religiously perform that TSB every 6 months usually in the fall and spring. 1 tube of the Krytox is good enough for the whole year. I also clean the drains out with warm soapy water and this drain brush from amazon

Makes me glad I do NOT have the moon roof.

Exactly what the noise was. A little silicon spray into the seal. And noise disappeared. Thanks men. And the drain tool is next on the list.
