I think he means the sunshade on the moonroof. Havent seen that on my TL; just my Integra. Had to pull the entire headliner off to tighten those damn bolts.

it's a known issue. just bring it to the dealership and they'll put on this tape and the sound will go away.

duck tape is not a misspelling, there is a brand of duct tape called "Duck Tape"

One thing I've noticed is if you have the visor closed, and then open the sunroof fully without first opening the visor manually yourself, both will open but the visor isn't truly as far back as it can go into the roof (it can go about 1 inch further or so). If you close the sunroof without touching the visor it is still open but not 100% open (about 95% open). I've noticed that it seems to rattle when left in this position. For me anyway, if I manually open the visor first all the way tight, it never rattles. Try it and see if it helps.

BTW, there is a TSB for both the sunroof "squeak" and the visor "rattle" (two separate problems).
