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 ?
