Default Sunroof rattle. SO ANNOYING!

I've got this plasticy sounding rattle in my sunroof. It sounds like wires bouncing around, but it's definitely not my radar hardwire. The rattle is very easy to reproduce and goes away when the sunroof is open. My car is going in for its 10k service next week. What should I tell them to look at to solve this problem?

Everybody has this problem. I got mine fixed at 10k and it was back less than 3k miles later.

Default like shadyraven said, if it's dirty or dry (not lubed) then it will rattle. Mine does the same...

thing. The service tech was nice enough to give me a free can of the VAG lube (haha) to keep. I use my VAG lube once every couple of months!!

Seriously though, it's a spray canister of silicon lube. Once it's sprayed on, the rattling goes away.

Default b/c people were taking it the wrong way, like I was implying that passat drivers

are inferior to A4 drivers and were therefore jealous or crap like that. I figured I'd get rid of it to avoid controversy. I didn't want ppl thinking I'm a jackass.

So I should tell them that it needs to be lubricated? Where, specifically?
