Is there a way to raise the rear of the sunroof a couple of millimeters to stop an annoying rattle when driving?

I know, it really sux. Don't know anything about raising....If I drop mine a mm or 2 it stops. Mine also does it a bit when fully closed as well. So I close the slide to block it out.

Alternatively, OR in conjunction with.

Purchase some new sun-roof seals.

NO!....I'm not gonna tell ewe the part numbers.
You can do that YOURSELF, via the On-Line parts catalogue, listed under the "Useful things n' stuff" thread.

i saw that but mine doesnt rattle at all,but wind noise over 70mph is really bad,i dont think its at the correct height either front or rear or both.it looks to me in the instructions the front seal should sit 1mm below roof level and rear should be level?? but +_ 1.5mm means front could sit 0.5mm above the roof level???

Steward ..the wind noise is mostly from the corners ? if you can slide a leaf between the seal and the body thats your whistle
if you look under the seal theres a gap in the rubber with a screw driver you can push in some 6 m/m foam draft excluder this pushes the seal out so it touches the body.
I did the 4 corners + along the back ..you can slacken off the 4 nuts if you wish to center the glass. stopped all the noise

excellent,thanks for that :-) i presume you can still use the sunroof ok after doing this? i tried an experiment today,if i flick the tilt button so the roof dips down and just starts to tilt then the wind noise virtually all goes,roof still looks closed from outside the car.i will have a look at getting some excluder under the seal though :-)

Yes of course Stewart ...as you are doing it keep closing the roof to make sure its not to tight.
I know what you mean by tilting the roof mine was the same its because the bottom of the rubber seal that has not been compressed is now in contact with the body .
At 130kph not a sound from mine.
