sunroof shade rattle fix

Fix Works
Been driving around for a couple of weeks with the "fix" in place and it does indeed correct the rattle problem I had with the sunroof. And the inner shade stays put - no longer slips open when once closed. I used some thick pieces of felt.

and since johnny mentioned it. i am going to make this a sticky for a little while so people can read it (if they have the rattle problem)

I have to say this is an awsome thread.
(Newbie here... just bought a white GS4 '98)
Before I go and pry in some foam - does this notorious rattle sound like a clicking sound? I get a moderately loud "click" once in a while and I wondering what it was. I thought it was the new baby seat that we put in, but after close listening (and almost getting into an accident) I realized that it was the sunroof.
So hope someone out there can confirm if the rattle is a click...
