Just chiming in here. I am having the same problem with the creaking panoramic roof. I brought it to one dealership and explicitly explained the problem. After 3 hours of waiting, they claimed they could not hear anything, and just put some kind of lube on the rails. This completely failed at fixing the problem. I brought it to a second dealership, and they looked more in-depth. They removed the headliner and claimed there were some loose bolts. They tightened the bolts and claimed that this fixed the problem. I wasn't in my car for more than 10 seconds after getting it back and heard the noise, another fail at fixing the problem. Other than this roof problem, the car is amazing. The noise is just so ridiculously annoying though. Any updates on a new or upcoming fix??? It bothers me that two dealerships claimed they couldn't hear anything. With the radio turned off, the noise is beyond noticeable. Even with the radio on, it can be heard.

I've had my 2012 LTD back to the dealer 4 times for the squeaking roof. They've tried the foam and rubber and haven't solved it yet. Any new developments?

I guess this could be considered a development...just one that won't help you out. For 2013 Hyundai abandoned that type of sunroof and reverted to the traditional metal sunroof on the Sonata. Whom ever it was that said that GM gave up on these due to all the trouble they seem to be was probably right since Hyundai appears to have done the same.

My dealership was able to fix the squeak. Have your dealership call the Alexandria Hyundai Dealership in Alexandria Virginia. I'm not exactly sure what they did, but it seemed to work. The Service Manager should be able to help.
