The squeak is back!

The Sunroof in by 991 has been plagued by a squeak since delivery. About a month ago the dealer lubricated the sunroof and the squeak went away. It's back.

Anybody know of a permanent solution to this issue?

Wasn't there a campaign on this from Porsche? From memory, a bunch of guys had this same issue and the campaign involved the dealer replacing some particular part which caused the squeak.

I think that it was the glass roof and the fix was to lube it. I searched the archive and can't find any part replacement campaign. Anyone know?

I've got it too. Haven't tried to get it fixed, as I am waiting for a permanent fix from Germany. I don't want my dealer taking it apart without knowing exactly how to fix it. Really surprised they haven't found a solution yet.

I have the same issue. Dealer has no fix. Porsche USA has no idea.

my 2013 went in for squeak last week. they did what they thought needed and same squeak still there at test drive. they kept the car for another day and now the squeak is gone. they told me they took apart the sunroof, did a lot of lube and place some felt tapes which cannot be seen. it's now a week later and still not back even after a long 300 miles drive yesterday.

Does this pertain to steel only, glass only or both? I have a steel sunroof and luckily haven't had this issue. Just wondering for future reference...

Mine is driving me crazy! Just waiting for my steering wheel controls and sport exhaust to come in so I can do everything at once since the Dealer is an hour+ from my house. I don't know if I can wait any longer though.

Not sure if you ever got your creaking sunroof fixed but so far no one has been able to fix mine. Bringing it back for a 3rd time hopefully at the end of the week. It's now to the point where passengers point it out to me.

Is the noise only when it's open or also when it's closed? at what speed you start to getting the noise? thanks for the info!

Mine?

It's all the time provided the car hasn't been out in the sun for a while. Then it's harder to hear, but it's there.

The only thing to silence it is to open the driver's window. Which isn't really silencing it so much as covering it up with other noise.

My car was manufactured in May 2012.
