Q7 CREAKING: Thank you for this video as I was trying to fix my Audi Q7's creaking sunroof. This didn't show how to adjust the Q7, but the premise was the same. My creaking was caused the friction in between the front & rear panel on the panoramic sun roof. There are 8 screws, 4 on each side on the railing underneath the back panel glass (like the screws in your video you showed). MY FIX: I retracted the front panel w/ the button to relieve pressure between the two panels, then loosened the 8 screws using the star shaped bit, then with my hand I pushed up on the back panel (there is a 1/4" or so the panel can move up and down w/ screw adjustments), retightened the screws, and lowered the front panel back into the closed position. This fixed the annoying creaking. THANK YOU! CONCEPT: You are creating pressure between two points of contacts (front & rear panel of sun roof). If those contacts are loose and flex, they will rub and create noise. Tightening that contact stops the movement and any creaking. MY RESEARCH: I looked everywhere for a solution - lubing the rubber seal all around the glass (didn't work), installing felt tape on the plastic clasps on the sun roof railing (didn't try to do this one) & lubed the rubber foot that presses down on the wind screen at the front of the sun roof (didn't work), removing the wind screen (didn't try). This was a $525 bill at Audi, which I didn't proceed with. Thank you again for posting this. It was crazy to read all the unsolved issues with the sun roof and how many times I read a dealership replaced the sunroof outright.

I own a 2020 S3 and I was facing the same issue. I got the complete roof assembly along with the glass replaced under warranty. After nearly a year I got the same problem again. I thought it was something I needed to live with. But damn! These 2 screws fixed the issue. I used to hear the squeak even when the road is not bumpy. But now complete silence. Does even Audi mechanics know about this? Because the first time I took my car, they couldn't figure out what was wrong and replaced the entire roof. That would have been so expensive.

Nick, were you having the creaking also when the sunroof was open? I guess this could be a potential differential diagnosis as to whether this fix will work and if it's related solely to the sunroof? Just purchased a 2018 RS3 and 'creak over curb' is present but I'm pretty sure I've gotten it when the sunroof was open also? Any thoughts? Or anyone else. Really don't want to rip open the headliner.

Interesting video BUT, I discovered that the creak comes from the rubber pads at the front of the glass section. These pads force the wind deflector shut causing the creak when the roof is shut. A dab of red rubber grease on both pads eliminates the creak completely. I think that by adjusting the angle of the roof in your video alters the way the pads sit on the wind deflector arms when closed. This creak drove me mad for three years, and I finally stopped it!!

There are 6 screws holding the glass frame. Only adjusting 2 rear ( or front ) could lead to a bind for some and the resistance on the motor will prevent the close. I would loosen middle screws sightly before loosening & moving the front or back screws. My RS3 creaks and the dealer removed the glass and frame and it still happens crossing uneven ground during body flex. Dealer suggested headliner removal as next steps to check frame screws & apply felt tape to fasteners - TSB’s from other models. I’m holding off, nervous to have seats, pillars, headliner all coming out because I’m OCD.

Lots of discussion about this on forums with felt tape etc.. if the rattle goes away with a tiny little upward movement of the sunroof with the switch then adjusting like this will solve the problem. I moved mine up about 1mm and could see from outside the car that the right side was lower than the left. When I loosened the adjustment screw the tension on the glass was relieved and it straightened itself out, then I tightened it back up. No rattle, tiny adjustment. I have an A3 and a MK7 GTI, the VW was the one that rattled, same sunroof.
