st line x 140 driver Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Anyone have a panoramic roof which creeks on mark 8 fiesta? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mavroz Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 I don't but as I mentioned in another post, a guy at work had a Pano Roof on his last Fiesta... He got rid of it due to the creaking, rattling and other noises it made as he was fed up with it. He has an Active X now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sjwhite Posted November 5, 2020 Share Posted November 5, 2020 Have never heard it creak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
st line x 140 driver Posted November 5, 2020 Author Share Posted November 5, 2020 Mine only does it turning out of my drive on dropped curb and pot holes. Had a medical on it (1 year health check, prostate was ok) to keep warranty at local ford garage obviously they found nothing wrong. Its not bad enough to get rid of car just turn the b & o up. Doesn't do it when open. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomsFocus Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 This isn't just a Ford issue, I see complaints about pan rooves on VAG forums as well. I think they're just inherently difficult to make silent. Some people are more bothered by annoying noises than others though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tomshepp Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 The occasional sound from the big piece of glass moving. Usually irritating but a 400 mile run in Wednesday's sunshine returning 61 MPG with the roof open makes the noise completely irrelevant. Glad to have the pan roof. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never creaks when open and is a nice option to have -61mpg is that ecco mode more like 45 for me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jonson Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I had similar - a really annoying creak on even slightly uneven ground that sounded like plastic on metal - didn't do it with the roof open, sometimes it was bad enough that I considered getting rid. Took me quite a while to track down the exact parts that were doing it (a particular bit of the moving frame on a stationary brace), sprayed it with PTFE and totally fixed it thank god. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Due to me buying a used fiesta, I've been looking and listening to everything I can at moment, not noticed any noises at all so far, and I am very particular about that sort of thing, so if I didn't hear it then its not there.....I hate being OCD 🙂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
