I have a rattle in my ceiling that just started right above the drivers head. It is pretty loud and I can feel it when I put my hand up there to stop it. I have a sunroof but opening or closing it doesn't help. Anyone know what it could be up there?
 






Mine was in the shop when new for this same problem no less then five different times. Pull all the trim out, drop the headliner, and take it for a ride. I suspect you'll find a missing piece of foam rubber between the inner roof brace around the sunroof opening, and the outer roof skin.

Yea that's the only thing I can really do. I'm just going to take off the ceiling and put something in there to keep it from rattling. I'm sure it didn't help when I got pissed and started banging on the ceiling. When I took a sharp right I heard broken pieces falling down next to where the seatbelt is. I’m wondering what I broke more than what was making the rattle. I'll pull that out today or tomorrow and post up.
 






Take some pics for us... I never had a chance to see mine when it was apart...
