I was wondering if anyone else happens to notice noises coming from the sunshade(s).

To find out, close each shade into the locked position. Then, by holding the handle, move it perpendicular to the way it opens and closes. If you hear clicking noises (plastic hitting metal) as you shuffle back and forth, likely this noise also happens as you drive. You can also open and try it too.

Anyways, today I was determined to come up with a fix for it.

Essentially, all I did, was take some electrical tape... make a 8" to 12" strand, and wrap it up over and over... and wedged the pieces (I did each side of each shade, so four pieces) in between where the shade-slide would make contact...

After wedging all those pieces of tape in there, I cannot reproduce the noise anymore... so I'll give it a full crash-course on Monday.

If people are interested, I'll take pictures...

Enjoy!

Sorry for the delay... been busy with work.

First picture is sort of a zoomed out shot of the area of the front shade:



Second shot is a zoomed-in picture of the first:



Third shot is a zoomed-in picture of the other side of the front shade:





You get the idea...

So I did that in four places (two pictured) for both shades. I'm not sure if it helps much more, but I do know you could shift the shade handle back and forth and it'd make "noises" so I figured what the heck.

 

i cant see what you did? too blury

 

The red arrows point to the pieces of wrapped up electrical tape that I wedged between the shade and the track...disallowing it to shift from side to side and "rattle".
