I have seen all of the posts regarding this issue in regards to other Dodge/Chrysler models, but not a ton for the Challenger (2012 SRT8). There is a loud, incredibly distracting, creaking sound that comes from the passenger headliner area. In researching this, it seems to be the sunroof. Has anyone been able to successfully fix this, and if so, how? Its driving me crazy, and the dealer I took it to was unable to help. (they said it was because there was no lubricant on it- so they put more on....still doing it). Thanks in advance.
Mine does the same thing. I cannot drive it with the lower cover open, it drives my nuts. So I keep it closed unless the top or slider is open, then it's fine.
I had the same problem, but it was on driver side right above my head. So it was easy to identify location. It ended up being one of the nuts that secures the sunroof frame to the roof had backed off slightly. I removed the sunvisor and partially removed the door seal so the headliner would drop down. This gave me barely enough access to the 10mm nut. I was so relieved when I pulled out of the driveway, and didn't hear the noise. It was driving me frickin nuts. Good luck to yah.
So prior to removing the headliner, which I was fully prepared to do, I tried what Hal suggested, and so far so good!! No more squeaking. It's amazing that something that small can drive you nuts like that. Thanks all!
My 2014 sunroof will creak while opening and closing but it is always quiet when open or closed. I also had all of the intermittent opening and closing issues.
Now it won't return flush with the roof even when pushing from underneath and I can hear wind noise. The Dealer quoted me $2150 to replace it. Their reason given for failure was that it's a very hot and very cold location. Yea, so are the doors/windows. It's just another example of cheap crap on this car. Dodge should be totally embarrassed about the quality of build on this car. In fairness, all 4 of my factory new Dodge Rams were no trouble at all.
