2001 C5 Auto, the roof panel keeps squeaking when hitting bumps and undulations in the road, anyone else suffered from it, or have a remedy?

Have you tried the silicone spray you get in the can left over after a service? Spray it on a rag and wipe on the weather striping. Helped ours out when it was making all sorts of creaking noises in the winter.

Or try Extreme Tyre gel to keep the rubbers soft and slippy. Halfords also sell silicone spray. Any of the rubber treatment products will do it.

I had it and it got on my nerves big time, take the roof off spray silicone onto a cloth and wipe all the seals on the removable panel, also pay attention to the seals that the panel sits on, finally lubricate the locating pins with 3 in one oil. I did this 8 months ago and the noises have not come back.

Ecklers do some nice little felt pads that will cure the problem.

I had more of a creaking/cracking noise from mine. I adjusted the striker plates on the top of the windscreen frame which resolved the problem.
