Has anyone noticed the gapping hole between the headliner and the sunroof? You can see the gap when the sunroof is open. This is an extremely poor design and really unacceptable. We talked to service and the manager he is checking to see if there are any technical reports on the subject.

Never noticed it. But it will probably bug the hell out of me now, Thanks :banghead:

I've learned never get a sunroof...Nothing but issues in every car I have owned with it.....It was hard finding my Nox w/o sunroof in FL with all the other options I wanted

So Florida has all the sunroofs! Lol I tried hard to find an SLE-2 with a sunroof here in Phoenix, AZ but it just doesn't exist out here. In the end I had to go without one.

I've had sunroofs for 20 years in 4 different cars without a single problem. :thumb:

I just went out and opened mine and all I see is the headliner and the notched wind deflector :shrug:

Sunroofs:
1990 Sunbird
1999 Alero
2001 Grand Prix
2004 Vibe
2005 Impala
2008 Aura
2011 Regal

Never had a problem with any of these (these are all my wife's vehicles - my first sunroof is the Terrain)

Can't say as much about the t-tops in the 442 - leaked from day one, dealer wouldn't touch - finally fixed myself.

I'm picky though....


And being I know a few service managers........Dealers do more warranty work on a sunroof than any other part of the car...especially on the low end side of cars like we have

I'll bet not as picky as I am. For example, why are you using a different number of "periods/dots" each time you type them ? LOL

Sunroofs need the tracks cleaned and lubricated on occasion, and many people fail to do that maintenance. That is what causes many of the problems. Also, letting leaves and debris get into the drain hoses is not good. Sure, they need a bit more maintenancethan a solid roof, but a little TLC and they will easily last the life of the car. Mine do, anyways.

Also, I do not consider a 30K+ vehicle to be on the low end side, but that is just me. I guess I am not a high roller. LOL

"Low end side" :angryfire:

An ellipse is a round shape with two foci, such as an orbit of a planet. Three dots to signify pause or omission of words is Ellipsis. ;D

I LOVE my sunroof. It was the one option I could not go without. They are relatively rare I think because they are not standard on any model.

I believe rarity of sunroofs would apply to the Equinox. I remember reading an article last summer that production in the Ingersoll, ON plant was to increase by some 300 units per day in order to keep up with demand. And none of these bodies were to have sunroofs because of the complexity of build.

The sunroof's are the ONLY thing I have HAVE NOT had issues with on any of my cars. Maybe people are unfamiliar with them and that is what is causing the issues? I never really knew there was maintenance to be done on them either and all of mine have worked for as long as I had the car.

 

[fullcourt]

there is a thread somewhere in here about headliners drooping, do a search and you should be able to find it
