Rumbling? like rominl mentioned...you should open up the roof to see if the rubber gasket hasn't seated properly from open/closing. alot of moonroof noise is attributed from that gasket rubbing onto the painted surfaces of the sheetmetal edges.

There are no wires in the roof, its all ribbon cable.

You may have someting like a rock rolling around in the little trays that catch water in the front and rear of the sunroof.

This happened to me in a car I used to own. Had to take out the whole headliner and little sunroof tray thing. There were rocks and sticks and all kinds of **** in there. Might wanna check there.
