My sunroof rattles when it is open. i can't seem to find where the noise is coming from. It is fairly loud and it rattles at any speed. Has anyone else the same problem?

its fairly common. there's a service bulletin for the sunroof.

This is a well known problem. The solution is to replace the sunroof rack all together.

There is a TSB out for US-Spec RX-8, is there even a Mazda dealer in South Africa ?

Here is the TSB. Make a copy and bring to your dealer....let us know how it goes...

Thanks for the info. We do have Mazda dealers in all our major towns and cities. The only thing is i dont know if they will cover my problem under warranty because all my Rx8's have been wreaks that i have rebuilt. But I will try anyway. Maybe I will be lucky. Thanks again to all.

i would not do this recall, i did mine and i had to take it back cause it was leaking water, its simply not worth the hassle or risking a leak, they fixed it but the nearest mazda is 25 miles away from my house...those mazda monkeys are a joke

I had the TSB done on my car, fixed the problem for quite some time but now it's squeeking again.
I'm thinking I might just swing by an auto parts store and get some grease.

Ja, just lube it.
