    greetings, I have a 2019, and I dont really have a squeak. Mine is more of when the sunroof is in certain positions open/tilted/closed, I get rattling. Some say its due to the wind deflector that pops up when the sunroof is open, however, when the sunroof is just tilted, that would not neccessarily apply. Unless the wind deflector just needs lubricating/grease all around.....Im going to try in the near future.... to see what my result is.....

    Sure, let me know.

    I've got no issues at all when the moonroof gets slid all the way back. Just the rattle when I tilt it open.

    Oooh look, another mod.....
    Okay, I was able to hear it on the second link you posted. That definitely sounds like a metal on metal squeak. I wonder if the slide rail or lifting mechanism needs to be cleaned & lubricated? Try cleaning it with a damp cloth and then spray WD-40 on the components. See if that helps resolve it.

    I'll try hitting it with some silicone lubricant when I get a chance. Everything looks fine, it's hard to get a good look when it's just tilted.
