Default Sunroof rattle

After the dealer did some adjustments because they also heard vibrations, I'm still hearing rattles when on rough roads. There is a TSB but that is on the main rails with very loud noises. But this is not it.

This is just vibrating sound. Metal sounding. It only is audible with the visor open and glass closed. Not constant just a quick vibrate on the rough patches. Never had a car do this.


Anyone else have this issue?

Yes, 15,500 miles and since I am turning it over 1 Nov, I decided to leave it.

Yeah my sunroof was tightened and a sill was replaced because it was leaking. After that, it makes a popping and creaking noise within the headliner. Very annoying.

I am having the same issue with a constant tapping/rattling noise with the sunroof. My car didn't fall under the tsb, but I am pretty sure its the same problem. It's super annoying, but I've already come to terms with it since tearing the headliner off will probably cause more problems....
