Any of you guys with GMT-900 Ext Cabs have a slightly annoying rattle in your factory sunroof and haven't been able to trace it? I have a rattle that seems to come from the Sunroof Area in the Headliner.... and I haven't been able to trace it thus far...the only thing that will make it kinda quit would be pushing up on the glass every now and then, but I can't figure out if the glass is loose how you would tighten it. I really am dreading a warranty repair for the fear they are going to have to drop the headliner, etc...I used to work at a dealer and know how the trucks come apart myself, so I don't have a problem fixing it myself, I was just looking to see if anyone had any suggestions I might check before I go tearing into it.

The retractable sunroof shade on my 07 rattles every now and then. I just push it back further and it seems to stop for a week or so.

mine did this too.. iand for me it was actually the seals. get a good weather stipping lube and apply all over the seals on the sun roof.

another member suggested this stuff http://autogeek.net/1z-einszett-rubber-care-stick.html Einszett Rubber Care Stick “Gummi Pflege"

it worked great for me.

 

it will button up the rattle almost instantly. i also find that the retractable mesh sun visor will rattle very slightly too. if neither of those fix it, take off the interior headliner lamp (right behind the sunroof) and look for the loose wire. if its not one of those things..well S.O.L! ;)

 

p.s. while you are lubign up those weather seals on sunroof, might as well attack the rest of them on the truck before they start acting up!

I have the same issue. If it is fully pushed back, it rattles. If I move it to 1/4 closed, it stops?

Its the wind deflector.. rattling inside while closed.

 

Thats what I thought too, but it seems to be near the back of the Sunroof more than anything....if thats what it is though, I wonder what the best way to fix it would be?? Also I have a little different sunroof deflector than you do...I think your crew has the Plastic Piece deflector where mine has a mesh screen that pops up being an extended cab....

Thanks for the Suggestion....Looks like that product is on Backorder right now, however I'll keep a watch for it! I wonder if this will help the creaking door seals also?

      2018 Silverado Console USB Port Not Working

      By Tbhats2130 · Posted

      My centre console USB ports haven’t been working and the one in the glovebox is starting to act up. When I plug my phone into the cord the radio will go black and stop playing, and the CarPlay is inconsistent.   I checked the fuses and they were fine. I changed the USB port out and still nothing. Hoping for some advice on what I should be looking at.

      The truck is a 1995 Chevrolet S10 Blazer, 4.3 VIN "W" engine. :cracks knuckles:   On a whim - because I needed a headache - this truck was for sale so I stopped to take a look. Doesn't run. Well, it does, but barely. Long crank, choppy idle, bad misfire(s), it REEKS of fuel. I can DO this..I'm thinking. Diamond in the rough. One owner until last year. A young guy is selling it, he bought it 6 months ago. It stranded him more than once, he's got a newborn. It was in the shop 10 days ago and he "thinks" they said it needs a new fuel injection system. He can't put any more money into it, needs it gone. I was thinking of upgrading my Macbook, which is a total want, not a need. For less than the price of a new laptop I can have fun for months tinkering on this truck and enjoying it. I'm taking this truck home. The guy was beyond thrilled, his wife was there, she thanked me profusely, I could tell they were hurting. They seemed like good people in a bind.   Some parts, a wash, maybe a set of tires, and I can have a few months of fun and then turn it for beer money (or the next project).   Sure enough, there's a work order from a shop last week in the INCHES of paperwork on this truck dating back to when the first owner bought it. They put a new distributor in it, fuel injection work describes basically opening the plenum and putting it back together. He said he couldn't afford any more work so he had them button it up and that's when he put it up for sale.   I'm not well versed in 4.3. I did discover 1995 uses the 1992-1995 SCPI "Spider" injector which is riddled with issues from splitting lines, clogged or cracked poppet valves and plastic spider legs that crumble over time. Cool. I'll just order me a ne---. Oh, the auto parts store doesn't have it? Rock Auto doesn't have it. eBay? $$$$$$ for used. These are UNAVAILABLE period end of story unless you know "a guy" who's still got one in a box somewhere.   Can't upgrade to the '96-'04 injector, it's a different plenum, wiring/pinout and sensor config.   There are a few kinda "know a guy" -guy rebuild services for these injectors out there for about $350. Okay, Okay... I'd like to know if anyone has used them? Anyone got a lead on these crappy 92-95 spiders?   I also don't want to send MY spider to Narnia and back without knowing if that's truly the problem. I guess I'll need to pull apart the plenum and do some digging.   I was also thrown for a loop. This 1995 model year truck has an OBD-II connector. The interface is decidedly not OBD-II. I can read and reset trouble codes and view live data, but there's not a lot of data. Like misfire count and on what cylinder, that's not there. It's OBD-1.5.   Nothing is ever easy. Now it makes sense why this guy wanted to disappear this thing for cheap. I'm guessing the shop told him the injector is toast, the part is unobtainable and they're not going to sort sending the thing to a rando offering rebuild service on craigslist, and the kid likely can't be without a working car for 3 weeks even if they'd facilitate that.   Experience with these early SCPI's? Stories? Things to check? Sympathy? (..Nah...)   This can sit until I sort it. But I haven't had a problem with a vehicle I couldn't easily solve in a long time.

      I have four that read by the dash 8 to 10% better than miles/pump calculations and I have one that is spot on.
