Hello,
Last night I was driving my 2016 Mazda 3 GS on the road when I heard a massive BANG noise. As if someone slammed into the car. The sound of a metal hitting metal. Like it was so LOUD my ears were ringing for awhile.
I, of course, freaked out. Looked around. Didn't see anything noticeable, but I could hear a whistling noise coming from my sunroof.
I pulled off to the side (note: Winter in Canada, and only a thin layer of ice was on the roof of my car. A few millimeters thick.)
Got back in the car and drove to my destination, but could still hear the whistling noise.
I assumed due to the heating from within the car, and the ice on the outside, maybe the glass might have finally cracked due to the differential temperatures?
The next day, I take the car back on the road, and of course. No whistling noise. Nothing.
However, when I poured water on the sunroof, I went back in the car and saw there's now water leaking in the car. Luckily, it's inside the sunroof and going down the drainage within the sunroof.
I went back outside and now can see (in daylight) that the sunroof is slightly off center. It's flush on the passenger side, but on the driver side, it's slightly lower on the front driver side, and slightly higher on the rear driver side.
1) Anybody have an idea what that loud bang was?
2) Anybody have any idea how to manually adjust the sunroof to be flush again? I saw some videos you can unscrew something, adjust it, and tighten the screws again to make it flush, but that's on other manufacture cars.
Thanks!
