Exclamation Loose item running inside my roof !

Guys I have 2019 LX, suddenly i started hearing noise inside my roof like a loose (may be metal) item running inside my roof whenever i take a turn or break or accelerate.
Anyone pass through the same experience ?
Thanks,,

Wow, that's crazy, I just experienced the same thing yesterday for the first time. I think it's because I park under a tree at work so an acorn must have fallen in the drip rail. I heard it during my drive at lunchtime but it seemed to be gone by the time I was heading home. Hopefully your situation is as simple.

Maybe try gently tap on the headliner and see if you hear anything rattling / wobbling /

Total guess, but- there are captive nuts that hold down the roof rails. Those captive nuts are between the headliner and the roof skin. They are quite easy to break loose (I broke one installing a roof rack) and they only have one place to go.

I was going to say this, but they wouldnt just break loose on their own. Did you check for acorns on the roof??
