1st I found rock chips and road rash on my Saphirre Blue GTS that I've had only for A FEW WEEKS!!!!!
Now, while driving this morning, I noticed a rattle coming from the glass sunroof.
What could it be

I'm afraid I only have more bad news for you. Both of your problems are created by driving. Taking the car to the dealer only makes things worse- more driving. Your best long term option is to park the car until it can be sold for one you won't want to drive.

The cab keeps the sunroof rattle away
! As for the rock chips, yes they hurt! I try to never drive too close behind other cars, especially trucks of any size and never one without mudflaps! But as someone has said here before, those little rock chips are "badges of honor" that you "drive your car"! Touch up paint can lessen the ugliness (recommend a tooth pick or tiny brush -not the one that comes w the paint). We typically drive a bit faster than the average driver out there and that adds to the chipping. Some like the clear bra way. It chips too, and then you have lines to look at. I prefer the paint, and a touch-up before wax time.

Yet more hand-waving and excuses for what is, in reality, unacceptable paint durability.

It probably has to do with the aerodynamics, but rocks are attracted to this car's paint like tornados to a trailer park.
In the 12 years I owned my '02 Camaro it picked up less tiny rock chips than the 911 has in 1 year.
I guess it is the price I pay for it having to be my daily driver, but I love this car so much I would still happily drive it full of dents and painted primer grey!
