rattle in sunroof
Do many of you out there have a problem with a rattle in their sunroof mechanism? It is quiet when closed - but makes a helluva rattle when open and driving over even small p-holes.
The dealer for some reason never hears it when I take it in. I have heard a few talk about tape you can put in there. What is that all about - and does it work?

I have the same problem. It's the sunroof cover inside tha car, not the actual sunroof. I hate the cover when the sunroof is open. It needs to wedged or something.
