Default For those of you who have/had the sunroof rattle

How did you, or are you planning on fixing it? The easy solution is to take it to the dealer, but some of us don't have that option.

I wanted to know if any of you fix-it-up type guys took care of the rattle yourselves.

Thanks,
Sous

Why is taking it to the dealer not an option?

Default Mine rattles only when the sun shade is fully retracted.

If I leave the sun roof 1 click from fully open, the shade is supported by the edge of the opening and no rattle.

Default Ditto...

I haven't tried the "one click from full open" position yet... I'm going to do that at lunch time. Still, I do plan on mentioning this to the dealer at my 5k service...

I'll have to give that a try, hopefully it doesn't protrude too far into the space.
