sunroof rattles sometimes. advice
Hi,
Do any of the owners have an issue with the sunroof. Mine will rattle once in a while so I usually just keep it up while driving. Wondering if there is a quick fix like tightening of a bolt, etc?... Thanks in advance!

Not sure if this will help, as there are a few sources of sunroof rattle.
I had a bad rattle when the sunroof was open (not tilted). I found that if I put my hand a few inches behind the sunroof on the headliner it would stop. There is a stiffener or something at that point (easy to feel). It was unclipped on one end and hit the sunroof when open. It was a quick and easy fix at the dealer, as there was a partial headliner removal required and I was not up for that.

alx_carrera... I had a similar problem. Rattle coming from behind me which made me think it was coming from the rear window or rear side window. However, when I pressed my hand on the sunroof the rattle went away.
I took it in to the dealer and after diagnostics they found that it was some type of rail that was loose/broken. It cost $500 something to fix it.... I can take a look at the paperwork and give you the exact description of the problem tonight if you want to.
