Hi everyone, The fixed part of the roof makes a lot of noise. I have already tried to lubrify the rubbers with silikon but didn't work... Do you know if there's any way to adjust the roof..a screw or so? Any experience on this, please HELP.

Welcome to the Forum

Personally not a fan of sun roofs so I looked for a car without, had to many issues with leaks and rattles with a Range Rover years ago.

Here are some things to check.

Sunshade/Inner roof closed, no noise
Sunshade open/Inner Roof rattles   With someone else driving feel all around edge of the sun roof pressing on stuff runners etc to see if you can stop the noise
Sunshade/Inner Roof open, Roof tilt, no noise
Sunshade/Inner Roof open, Roof open no noise

These are things for you to physically check in your car that may help find the source of the rattle. Once you find it you have to decide whether you are capable of fixing it or whether you are going to pay a garage.

Inside the car you should have a sliding section you can slide forward to cover the sun roof often a cause of rattles if loose in its runners

1. Sunshade/Inner roof closed, if you slide it closed is there a rattle ? If not OK
2. Sunshade open/Inner Roof rattles   With someone else driving feel all around edge of the sun roof pressing on the runners etc to see if you can stop the noise

3. Sunshade/Inner roof open Sun Roof closed is there a rattle ?                                                                                                                                                              4. Sunshade/Inner roof open Sun Roof open is there a rattle ?
5. Sunshade/Inner Roof open, Roof tilt, Is there a rattle ?   
6. Sunshade/Inner Roof open, Roof open is there a rattle ?

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave thanks for your reply, thanks for the reply and it does sound like that could be the problem. I was thinking injector but never pops an engine light up so wasn’t certain. Was serviced 6500 miles ago but was just oil and filters. Going to check later and see if I can see any visible cracks or splits. Got a friend who has a garage and will obd and smoke test it for me.

      E53 petrol fail safe again.

      Morning Stu Long time since I played with a straight six so the old memory might be wonky here so check realoem From memory it is linked to the Air Pump and Vacuum control system. Find the Airpump and follow the Vac lines to the rear of the engine you should find a valve with a plug on top (or end) first make sure all lines are good no splits or cracks check the valve is operating, dont forget there is a non return vale in the system close to the inlet manifold. Hope this helps Dave

      Water leak at sharkfin aerial

      Morning Vic New one to me but I guess anywhere there is a joint is suspect. Like the seals around the rear lights that suddenly start to leak, removing them a good clean and renewing the seals seems to work. Check www.realoem.com to see what is fitted and how Dave

      Rough idle problem

      Morning Billy When was the car last serviced ? The symptoms you describe could be due to an air or vacuum leak, old hoses seals and vacuum lines can start to crack when cold they are stiff and don't leak (as much) when hot and flexible you see the issue developing. Your OBD Scanner needs to be BMW capable a standard scanner will only see critical functions. Dave

      Rough idle problem

      Looking for some help. 2010 116i M sport with the 2.0na engine. When cold, car ticks over perfectly. After about 15 mins of driving when idling you can feel it getting a little bit rough. Nothing too bad, but the longer you idle the worse it gets. No EML. When running car runs perfectly not a flicker. Today left it idling for 10mins after I felt it and then revs started to fluctuate but still no eml. OBD scanner can’t pick anything up. Turned it off and back on and was still rough but only a little bit like when it just starts. Anyone had anything similar or can point me in a direction of where I should start looking?
