Default sunroof rattles -- normal?

hi all,
with the sunroof tilted up and listening to some bass-heavy tracks, or while driving on rougher roads, the sunroof rattles pretty loudly. is this normal? do any of you guys experience anything similar?

thanks!

Mine rattles when I hit a pretty good bump. I asked the Lexus dealer to check it out and of course they couldn't find anything.

Mine is completely silent in all positions when the weather is cold. In warm weather, the sliding shade rattles when open. This is my 3rd LS and all of them had sunroofs that rattled. This one rattles the least. Thankfully, when the shade is closed it doesn't rattle. The sunroof in my Infiniti M35 never rattled. The other Lexus models I owned had rattling sunroofs also. It's a quality problem Lexus needs to address.
