Default Rattle on sunroof panel

I have spent years cursing a nasty rattle sourced at the triangular microswitch casting at the apex of the sunroof area: it rattles endlessly. I've tried putting some silicone in there but don't dare overdo it for risk of effecting the switch's accuracy.

Does anyone know of a fix for this (and no- I don't want to seal the sunroof closed)

Just bumping this. No one else is bothered by this noise?

The rattle (at least in my car) is from the air deflector not the switch. It rattles in the pocket it slips into, I can stick my finger in there and stop it or just close the roof a little.

On my car I do the same thing to the triangular metal switch activator and it stops the rattle, and it rattles when the roof is closed.

There are also some washers in the hinges / fittings at the front (I'm going a little from memory here) used to a degree to adjust the fit - mine rattle like hell at one side when the roof is open - need to stick some grease or something in there but haven't got round to it yet.
