Hi folks,

 

My Superb hatch has been plagued with squeeks and rattles since I've owned it however, most have now been sorted.

 

The last one that's really bothering me is the roof liner. The sunroof has been "repaired" by the dealer but the liner squeeks when going over rough road. This issue seems relatively common and is due to lack of insulation material between the liner and the roof. 2 Skoda dealerships have basically said there's nothing further they can do (which is BS) so I'm taking matters into my own hands.

 

What I'm planning on doing is dropping the roof liner and adding something to stop the noise. This may be a combination of fabric tape and insulation material.

 

My question is, has anyone ever tried this before or have any tips for removing/replacing the roof liner?

 

I have the instructions downloaded from Erwin but experience goes a long way. 

 

Cheers!

Fairly straight forward but long winded.

 

remove all grab handles using SPECIAL tool.

remove front overhead light unit

 

Remove a b c (d) pillar trims 

 

Remove the few small clips that hold it in place and the tops of the door and tailgate seals and it should drop down

 

 

and of course - slide it out the boot, have 2 people as if you bend it if will never look the same!

@ApertureS thanks for the reply mate.

 

I had a poke around yesterday and the mirrors were the only bit I couldn't get off. Seems the dealer struggled too and they must have snapped the housing and glued it back together when they replaced the sunroof rails!

This is because no one uses the special tool, is cheap and worth its weight in gold for jobs like this.

 

it’s like a long screwdriver with 2 prongs at the end.

 

if you look up T10518 they can be had for around £12 

Here you go….
