Please let me know if the dealership does not take care of the problem or if there is anything I can help with.

Great to hear you are listening and concerned.

I have a appointment next week for my 09 roof popping. The popping and creaking has become worse with each passing day.

It's cheap & easy to do, so I'd definitely try it before getting a dealer involved.

worked last year like a charm. However, this year it pops & creaks like crazy even after lubing the crap out of it.

Update...Lubed the rollers (which I missed prior) and the creaking stopped. Looks like I get to cancel my appointment with the service dept next week.

Tighten the rear hook one turn and lithium grease on the rollers. Remember to latch the rear first. Since I started latching the rear first I have had no problems.
