Sunroof when closing vibrates. Annoying. Want to fix

Now before the Archive police come in here. I searched and searched and couldn't find this issue. Only issues like height, and not working or leaking ones came up.

This has been going on for a little while and I never really cared until I closed my sunroof in front of this chick a week ago and she was like... "yah loud nice sunroof" haha. So now I wanna fix it more than ever.

Made me feel like a peasant with a loud *** vibrating sunroof. Now it only shakes or vibrates when it closes. I greased it in the past and it didn't really do much. I noticed it is kinda lose around the track like I can push the window up and down about probably .0100 of an inch or so. I believe that is why it is vibrating ONLY when closing tho. It doesn't do it when opening. Also. I wonder if we could upgrade these motors to be as fast as the windows lol

I hope this is a simple fix cause I really don't wanna buy a sunroof kit and replace the tracks. That looks like a pain I and money I don't want to spend. I hope this is just an adjustment I can make like the height etc.

Simple fix - Don't slide it, tilt it when a "chick" is in you car.

If you don't wanna get new tracks or a new window motor, then tilting it is the only way.


And yeah, a chick that makes you feel "like a peasant" for a sunroof? as Leykis would say, DUMP THAT BIITCH.

is there any thing visible in the tracks? I would look at it closing from the top outside and see if you can pin point the vibrating parts. It could just be a loose screw or something simple.

if the whole thing is vibrating, just thinking about basic assembly would lead me to think the motor is going out. I mean if the glass is shaking it has to be the source of the motion.... maybe. I don't think this will be simple for you. It sounds like a in depth job/problem.

hmm. Well it goes kinda slow. How is it driven? Belts? or a wheel? I would assume belts but yeah. It looks like the window has a slight play in it, which could be causing the issue but there should always be some play or it won't move but there could be too much play in it.
