Moonroof Rattle

I just noticed my moonroof rattles like crazy when it's tilted. When I close it or fully open it it doesn't rattle. Anyone come across this problem? I have a 2009 TSX Tech.

I have the opposite problem. With the moonroof closed with the "fabric sun cover thing" opened, and I go over a bump or into a driveway, I can hear it creaking and crackle. It's not that loud, but it's noticeable.

Mine does that too. It comes and goes. I also have the creaking rear shelf. My '96 Ford Probe GT was tight as a drum with had no squeaks and rattles after 12 years when I retired it. Also the paint on the fake metal painted plastic trim is coming off already. The TSX is my first Japanese car after only owning Ford and so far I am not impressed with the alleged Japanese quality advantage over American vehicles. I always suspected it was a myth and now I know it. I'll be going back to Ford when my lease is up. There will be a 2011 Taurus SHO with my name on it or perhaps the Fusion SHO if they have one by then.

The engine and chassis were by Mazda. Everything else was by Ford, and it was built in a Ford plant in Michigan.
