Aaah sunroof latch squeek

[RDH]

Just been to the pictures and for a couple of drinks with my mate and the girlfriends, and all my car has done all night is squeek from the sunroof latch. More than it ever has done before.

Is there anything I can do to remedy this apart from buying a new one?

3 choices: 1 buy a new handle for about £40. 2 open the sunroof and wedge a sponge or demister pad between the handle and the glass to make it stiffer when closed. 3 turn up the stereo.
I'm currently using a sponge for now.

Might try the sponge, short on cash at the moment.

Remove the glass, put on a soft surface (lowered parcel shelf is perfect) and cut a piece of 8mm (inside diam) brake pipe/fuel pipe rubber hose 45mm in length and with a cut down one side, glue over the metal rod on the handle, leave to dry, refit, pulls the handle down tighter, done.

I made a guide just like toms, I posted on here a couple of days ago. Do a search mate.
