I just checked see if the trunk cargo cover is making the noise but NO, I test drove it with trunk cargo cover removed, its still making that noise above my head in the front seat area. I thought about bringing it in when my service is due but since that bothers me so bad, I will have to call dealer again and do a test drive with the tech.

Did you check to see if the side of the sunroof panel is dirty? This used to happen on my A4. If the side of the panel was dusty, it would squeak when closed. I would tilt the roof open to clean the sides and back and open slightly to clean the front.

Just a thought.

[QUOTE=hopkinss;24504232]I had the same issue with my 2013 2.0T. Took it to the dealer a couple of times. They test drove and agreed that the roof was making noise. They took it in a couple of weeks ago and replaced the sunroof frame, which solved the problem.
Did the dealer find the noise the first time you brought the car in? What kind of noises were u hearing and how many days did u wait for repair?

i doubt this is your issue, but something worth noting. i have a pano moonroof on my mini cooper. mind you, that car rides a lot less quiet and quite a bit rougher than the Q5. i used to get an annoying buzzing sound from the roof, around the dome light. it turns out, it was the electrical wiring from the dome light that was causing the problem - it was a somewhat well known problem. they fixed it by wrapping the wires with felt of some sort. just a thought, albeit a far fetched one.

I had an annoying "tick coming from my pano roof at one stage. Only happened after the dealer replaced the glass panel under a recall ( the shattering glass problem well recorded on these forums). I fiddled around and found the source by chance.

At the front of the pano roof on one corner (right side), right on the curve, there is a piece of plastic trim that is quite flexible. It is only on the one corner, not the other. I pressed this down a little (not to bend it though) and voila, the noise went away for good. That was 6 months back. Roof has been quiet ever since. To access this trim piece, roof needs to be open and you need to stand on the door sill to look in from the top. If you know where to press, could actually do it while seated in the car too.

Hope this helps. That ticking had really been getting on my nerves.

Thanks for the advise, I will see how it works out.

[QUOTE=Audi1177777;24504347]I took it in for the 5,000 mile oil change and told them about the noise. The noise was a muffled clunk, or if going over a lot of bumps, I guess I could see where someone might describe it as ticking or creaking. Two technicians got in the car with me and drove around, one drove, one sat in the back. They both heard the noise and agreed that the roof was the source. They requested I schedule another time to take it back in because they would need to keep it for a while. It just happened that the horn stopped working so I scheduled for both services. It took them about 3 business days to order in the sun roof frame and install it. No noises from the roof since.
