Angry moonroof rattle

I have had my 2003 ES300 for about a month and love it. However over the weekend it developed an
annoying rattle in the moonroof. Upon investigating I discovered what looks to be some sort of track
guide. It is black and on each end of the moonroof and is very loose. When I touched it I immediatley
knew it was the source of the rattle. In fact while driving and hearing the rattle I held the part in place
and the rattle stopped.

Has anyone else had this problem ? If so how did you get it resolved?

I've got a 02 and not rattle as of yet.
I would immediately take it back to the dealer. They won't charge you.
Sounds like a screw or two is missing.

Default moonroof rattle

StevieJ.,

Thanks for the advice. In fact my 1000 mile check up is due this Saturday. I spoke to my service
technician who said that they have had other complaints. They have solved the problem for others
by installing some insulation material in the area. He assures me that will fix the rattle. We will see.

Thanks again!

There possibly could be a TSB out for that. Check alldata.com if there is any. And yes, gotta love warranty!
