Sadly the rattle in the sunroof has returned and is just as bad as it was before I applied the silicone grease  :cry: It's going in for a service next month so I'll ask them to investigate. Its very annoying! Let's hope they don't make it worse!

I've had my rattle removed today. They fitted a new clip and driver's side sun visor and installed some additional soundproofing around the area, now it's whisper quiet.

Are you sure it's the sunroof? I initially thought it was, but after applying all the silicone lube etc it was still there. I noticed that if I close the driver's door, you could hear a metallic vibration when the door closed. Also where the driver's sun visor clips in, try to move that little clip up and down and see if you hear the rattle.

Yeah it's definitely coming from the sunroof. I have checked all the sun visors and playing with them doesn't seem stop the noise. The sounds stops straight away as soon as the sunroof is put in the open or tilted position. It's going in for it's service in January so they are going to look at it then. Did the dealer charge you anything to look at it? When I called up they said each item to look at would be £145 if they deemed it not to be a warranty issue!!! I'm not paying a penny!
