Horrible Rattle from the Roof

Post by JetBlack09VibeGT »

I have a 2009 Vibe GT with a factory sunroof and I noticed over the hot summer months that I have a horrible rattle coming from the roof, middle left to be exact. This is more noticeable at 30-40 mph and yet even more noticeable with the sunroof open. Any ideas?

Is the sunroof hanging up on something? Or one of the linkages loose?

The sunroof seems to be working fine. How would I go about checking the linkage?

What can you see (attachment wise) looking at the the tracks with the sunroof open? Anything look/feel loose, stuck, bent, out of place, filled with leaves/twigs? Hopefully it's something simple... cause I hear taking down the headliner's a real pain!
