2.

Trunk lid striker out of adjustment 

3.

The trunk lid torsion bars knocking together

4.

A loose license plate or bracket

Most of these incidents can be repaired by adjusting, securing or insulating the item(s) or component(s) caus-
ing the noise.

SUNROOF/HEADLINING

Noises in the sunroof/headlining area can often be traced to one of the following:

1.

Sunroof lid, rail, linkage or seals making a rattle or light knocking noise

2.

Sun visor shaft shaking in the holder

3.

Front or rear windshield touching headliner and squeaking 

Again, pressing on the components to stop the noise while duplicating the conditions can isolate most of these
incidents. Repairs usually consist of insulating with felt cloth tape.

OVERHEAD CONSOLE (FRONT AND REAR)

Overhead console noises are often caused by the console panel clips not being engaged correctly. Most of
these incidents are repaired by pushing up on the console at the clip locations until the clips engage.
In addition look for:

1.

Loose harness or harness connectors.

2.

Front console map/reading lamp lens loose.

3.

Loose screws at console attachment points.

SEATS

When isolating seat noise it's important to note the position the seat is in and the load placed on the seat when
the noise is present. These conditions should be duplicated when verifying and isolating the cause of the
noise.
Cause of seat noise include: 
1.

Headrest rods and holder 

2.

A squeak between the seat pad cushion and frame 

3.

The rear seatback lock and bracket 

These noises can be isolated by moving or pressing on the suspected components while duplicating the con-
ditions under which the noise occurs. Most of these incidents can be repaired by repositioning the component
or applying urethane tape to the contact area.

UNDERHOOD

Some interior noise may be caused by components under the hood or on the engine wall. The noise is then
transmitted into the passenger compartment.
Causes of transmitted underhood noise include:

1.

Any component installed on the engine wall

2.

Components that pass through the engine wall

3.

Engine wall mounts and connectors

4.

Loose radiator pins

5.

Hood bumpers out of adjustment 

6.

Hood striker out of adjustment

These noises can be difficult to isolate since they cannot be reached from the interior of the vehicle. The best
method is to secure, move or insulate one component at a time and test drive the vehicle. Also, engine RPM
or load can be changed to isolate the noise. Repairs can usually be made by moving, adjusting, securing, or
insulating the component causing the noise.

WIND DEFLECTOR

Check that the wind deflector (1) moves freely within the sunroof unit
assembly while manually pressing down and releasing. If a malfunc-
tion is detected, remove and visually check the deflector for damage,
deteriorated components, or foreign objects within mechanism.
Check to determine if a sufficient amount of grease has been applied
to the pivot areas for non-binding operation, if not add grease as
required. If it is damaged, replace it with a new one. If no damage is
found, reinstall it properly.

LINK ASSEMBLY AND WIRE

NOTE:
Before replacing a suspect part, make sure it is the source of noise being experienced.
1.

Check link to determine if coated film has peeled off to such an extent that substrate is visible. Check also
to determine if link is the source of noise. If it is, replace it.

2.

Visually check to determine if a sufficient amount of grease has been applied to wire or rail groove of the
sunroof unit assembly. If not, add grease as required.

3.

Check wire for any damage or deterioration. If any damage is found, replace sunroof unit assembly.

WEATHERSTRIP

1.

Visually check weatherstrip for damage, deterioration, or deformation. 
• Open glass lid assembly enough to inspect front edge of weatherstrip.
• Tilt up glass lid assembly fully to inspect sides and rear edge of weatherstrip.
If any area of the weatherstrip is found to be damaged, replace the glass lid assembly. Refer to 

RF-35,

"Removal and Installation"

 .

2.

Check for leakage around glass lid.
• Close glass lid fully.
• Pour water around surface to determine area of concern. 
- For gaps or misalignment, adjust glass lid to specifications. Refer to 

RF-32, "Fitting Adjustment"

 .

- For damaged sealing surfaces, either replace glass lid 

RF-35, "Removal and Installation"

 , or repair the

panel.
