When driving the iX hard, after a while the brakes ten to squeak. I already figured out that it was coming from the rear. I decided to remove the rear calipers and carriers and gave them a good clean. There was some heavier rust pitting/build up on the surfaces where the pads slide on, I decided to grind them slightly with a fine roloc disc on the angle die grinder. Hopefully that'll solve the squeaking.
I also removed my sunroof to install the two new seals I got a while ago. My old ones were getting very worn at the ends. It's actually quite easy to remove the panel itself.
Turned out great although I don't have any pictures. I might try and readjust the rear of the panel some more since it's sitting a bit lower than before.
While fiddling with the sunroof I also swapped the aftermarket handle with one I made from two old original handles. On the aftermarket one, the handle has a tendency to droop down because the aluminium housing gets too wide when cranking the handle.
