Panoramic sunroof noise

[Bagpuss12]

I have the tilt and slide panoramic sunroof on my car. In the tilt position it has pretty much always rattled however what I am now finding is a really annoying rattle when it is completely closed. If I open it (in tilt position) and close it again the noise disappears for a period of time but then comes back. Is there something obviously loose or is it simply a case of cleaning and lubricating the rubbers

I also have a panorama, and I also have the same problem. Anyway, many panorama users in the VAG group have the same symptoms. Cleaning and lubrication only slightly masks the problem. In general, there are clearances in the mechanics. In my case it is the rear left guide handle. Unfortunately it is under the gasket and getting to it is difficult. I temporarily glued a 2mm high strip of silicone rubber around the perimeter of the inner seal, which made the whole moving part slightly tighter to the seal when closing. This has solved the problem for now.
