While driving my 09 with the sunroof fully opened and the radio off, which is seldom, I detected a constant rattle/ticking noise coming from the rear of the sunroof or headliner.. It shortly became an obsession to try to find the source of it. I found if I pressed up on it it stopped. Any others with this noise? any one identify the source or fix? It is not the noise heard windows are closed. I made sure they were open slightly. Thanks all.

Replying to: sgloon (Jul 05, 2008 10:05 pm) height - One of the things my wife and I like about the 09 is the increased height. We like the added visibility as long as it doesn't compromise the handling. We don't put stuff on top of our Foresters, but I can sympathize. My Tundra is a lot taller than my last truck and even though I am 6'3" I can't even clean the middle of the rear window. I bought a RubberMaid folding 2-step stool which I keep handy. It is light enough and small enough that I just bring it with me when I need to be taller. moonroof - On all the Foresters we have owned we never open the moonroof all the way. We open the shade all the way then open the roof to the rear stop. We figure that the engineer put it there for a reason. We HAVE had the middle seatbelt rattle mentioned. hopping - The only time I have noticed any of our Foresters hopping was when one got delivered with the shipping tire pressure of 44 psi. Since it was not the first one it was very noticeable that something was different. It is extremely likely that any test drives on vehicles will have the higher pressure, so that should be checked if it hops. |

Replying to: bigfrank3 (Jul 06, 2008 10:52 am) I changed the oil again last week and pulled off the original painted-on crush washer. I lucked out and it peeled off easily with a fingernail. There was no leakage between oil changes, which was amazing given the sight of the second crush washer bent over the original crush washer. Thanks again for the 'heads up.' The prospect of removing snow from the roof of the '09 is a concern, since I also cannot reach the roof and have not yet washed it. I guess that I am most concerned about gobs of icy snow falling onto and breaking the wipers [particularly the rear wiper], as well as sliding onto the windshield and blocking my view while underway. I have over 4,800 miles on the '09 and would have hit 5k this weekend had the weather been better.

Replying to: camrytimes2 (Jul 06, 2008 12:29 pm) In our state you can get ticketed for not removing the snow from the roof of the vehicle because of the problems it can cause for those behind you. I don't know anyone that has actually gotten a ticket but I have been behind many that should have. I think it is a $50 fine. I use one of those snow brushes where the head is perpendicular to the handle, about 2' long. The back side of the brush is a squeegee, or at least a rubber plow. It is kind of like a little push broom, and I use the rubber part on any glass, including the moonroof. I can clean everything off the car from one side using that. I just push everything on the roof to the passenger side and over the rail. The hood and windshield are a piece of cake, as is the rear window. The passenger side is along the side-end of my driveway so the snow ends up on the grass. I only have to walk around to the other side if there is a bunch of stuff on the passenger side windows. There usually isn't, but that is probably because I got the side window visors. Waxing the roof makes it easier to remove the snow too.
