Condition # 5
Condition #5Customers may comment on a plastic/metal rattle type noise that occurs while driving over bumps. This noise usually comes from the rear of the sunroof module.
Cause
This condition may be caused by loose mounting bolts/fasteners.
Correction

Note that the forward 3 mounting bolts are accessed by the holes in the sunshade when the sunshade is fully closed (refer to figure 20).
