Default The one annoying thing about my car

I had been hearing squeaks in the car for a while but wasn't sure where they were coming from. I recently figured out the source. They are not from the dashboard, arm rest, doors or seat belts. They are coming from the sunroof (above the front passenger seat). It doesn't matter if the sunroof is open or closed. If I put my fingers where the sliding roof goes or slightly push up on the edge, the squeaks go away (and the car sounds perfect).

has anyone else experienced this? Know how to fix it?

I recall reading this. Try a search limited to the RS4 forum.

Default Thanks. I remember reading this but couldn't find Gummi Pflege

I couldn't find Gummi Pflege for sale anywhere. I don't think they make it anymore. Any other products that do the same?

BTW: quick tip on searching. Using site: in google.com or live.com searches within that site.

Default Milltek includes complete little-squeek supression, otherwise graphite powder is good.

It's a hobby store thing for RC cars/planes. A tube of graphite dust.

I've got a rattle coming the rear deck/c-pillar that is starting to drive me nuts.

I think that could be the latch for the fold down seat backs.

Default I have a squeak/rattle right of the gauge cluster.....

I inserted my insurance card between the cluster and the trim piece and it's gone. I've had to do this on the 3 B7's I've owned.
