3 week old Seal Performance, minor creaking/ subtle flexing noises from the glass roof when going over bumps etc, is this normal?

Not for me. Seal Premium 2025 since early April. Only thing was a sound like something was moving when putting the pedal down (one way) and when breaking (other way). Sounded like some plastic moving inside somewhere in the back. Brought to Seal Service Center in Ringwood. Took them 30 min to figure out it was in the roof shade. Fixed perfectly.

My Seal 2024 does this, but only when the sunshade is up.

by sunshade, is this the inbuilt retractable sunshade?

The one in the 2024 model is manual, similar to a windscreen shade. It comes in two pieces and has clips that hold it up around the edges. Not sure if the centre makes the noise, or the outer clips. I've noticed the creaking in my car only happens when it's up. [Example](https://www.topbyd.com/en-au/products/sunshade-for-byd-seal)

Similar age Seal Performance here. No creaking when going over bumps or on/off driveways.

No creaking here but I don't use the roof shade (manual one).
