Hi All,
I just acquired a new-to-me G80 and while I love the car, the noises from the interior are absolutely driving me nuts. The car is a 2018 with just 12500 when I bought it, and I've spent the last two months trying to track down a couple of squeaks and rattles that are irritating the heck out of me.
The first and most obvious is the sunroof, which on my car isn't squeaking but rather rattling/clunking. I've lubed the seals and now the squeaks are gone, but it seems to be clunking when the body twists where the two plastic sliders sit in the tracks. I could be wrong, but there's no noise with the roof in vent position, and I can replicate the noise by pressing on the rear corners of the glass. The same sound occurs and it seems to be coming from further up where the sliders are. I already see white lithium grease on the tracks, but is there anything else I should add? Anyone else experienced similar symptoms and remedied them?
I also have a somewhat more annoying squeaking noise coming from the front right passenger dash area. I have lubed everything I can find with silicone oil (even under the hood!) but I still can't get this to quiet down. It seems to disappear in the rain or after a wash, suggesting that it's outside the car, but nothing seems to be the magic bullet. I've lubed window tracks, door seals, plastic components, underhood plastics, glovebox damper, nothing will silence it. It has a "weighted" sound to it, such as when I go over a dip or swing left and right, the sound changes...like it's a door or hood or something and the momentum is increasing the sound. It's faint but persistant, and I'd argue it's more annoying than the sunroof as at least I know what that is. I'm hoping I can get a passenger to drive around and press on things in the next couple of weeks, but if anybody has ideas I'm desperate...!
