What crazy to me is how are they still having issues in 2026? You would think all the kinks would be sorted by now.

I honestly have no idea why they don't make it an option. I would prefer a solid roof. More body integrity and quieter interior.

honestly if the technology trim didn't have a sunroof I would have let go all features for the sake of no sunroof. I am shocked all trims have it.

Sunroof issues have been plaguing Acura lineup for a while now, but I don't think it's defective in your case. It seems that this here is an installation issue.

When the tech looked at it when I dropped the car off he also said it was an adjustment thing. But upon them looking it over more the following day I guess they couldn't get it right and they are replacing the whole frame.

Are you calling out Acura specifically? Because I had a 2018 Accord 2.0T (beautiful interior btw, loved it) and a 2017 Pilot. Both were rock solid interiors and reliability overall. Not a single rattle. I guess its gone downhill since then
I have 4 interior issues I've noticed so far on the MDX:
1) Right side steering wheel controls make a creaking sound when I grab the right side of the wheel (3 o clock). I noticed the same creak in the 2025 RDX loaner that they gave me so I told them don't bother trying to address
2) Drive select knob or shifter area rattle. I think this one I am going to try to DIY because I've seen its quite simple to pull these out and try to insert some foam/special tape.
3) Sunroof frame wind noise (this thread)
4) Rear interior roof plastic trim is not fitting right on one side. I tried to see if there was a missing clip but seems like this is just how it is.

Honestly I came from a 2023 Lexus RX, there are rattles and fitment issues everywhere nowadays. It wasn't this bad however.

This is whats keeping me up at night honestly. I did speak with the operations director and he told me they've done a number of these historically and his guys are up to the task which I do hope is true. They are looking to resolve an emissions error first (1 week in on second visit, see another post I made) before diving into this project replacing the sunroof frame. They estimate it will be with them another week.
I've driven my 2 week old car only 3 days so far, and the remaining time has been at the dealer
