Default sunroof sounds bad when closing

anybody encounter a problem with their sunroofs? Mine makes a shutter or flutter noise really loud when it closes on the back part, where it goes down at the back. Is this a recall issue or wut does n e body know about this?

Clean out the tracks and use tons of WD40 on the new tracking. This worked for mine as well as what nbwh22 stated.

WD40 will work short term, but you want to use a good grease on it, WD40 is just for water displacement. mine did it too, grease it up good.

Take the door panel off and check the tracks also. They make oil or lube for that kind of stuff too.

When its very cold at night my sunroof opens very slowy and when its warm outside it opens normal. Does Honda make some kind of Oil for the sunroof?

I clean my tracks every couple months and make sure to lube them up with white lithium grease. Works like magic

Yup, silicone spray, lithium grease should work fine for the sunroof.

As for the windows, it should work too. But if the window shudders going up and down, it's the window regulators.

I had mines replaced under warranty when I had the lude.
