All 1 Known Issues
On the 2016-2025 Kia Sorento, the panoramic sunroof on 2016+ Sorentos develops a persistent rattling noise, especially at highway speeds or on rough roads. The sunroof glass panel vibrates against its frame due to deteriorating seal material and insufficient dampening. Wind noise also increases as the seals lose their compression over time. In some cases, the sunroof drain tubes clog, leading to water leaks into the headliner.
Common Symptoms
- Rattling noise from roof area at highway speeds
- Wind whistling or rushing noise from sunroof
- Water dripping from headliner near sunroof
- Sunroof creaking when vehicle flexes over bumps
- Musty smell in cabin from clogged drains
How to Fix
Clean and lubricate the sunroof tracks and seals with silicone-based lubricant. Apply foam dampening tape to the sunroof frame contact points to eliminate rattle. Clear the sunroof drain tubes by passing a flexible wire or compressed air through the four corner drains. If seals are cracked or compressed, replace the sunroof weatherstrip. Severe cases may require sunroof frame adjustment at the dealer.
