Picture of the sunroof drain pipe

[atomic]

Those copper pipes are the sunroof cable tubes. The drain tubes are the black hoses that come from the holes in the 4 corners of your sunroof (looking from the outside/top with the sunroof open. They are usually too stiff to bounce around and make noise, but who knows...

What he said ^

Those in your pictures are the guide tubes for your sunroof cables to operate your sunroof. You need to open the roof all the way and look inside the sunroof channel and in each cornet you will see the inlet hole for where the water drains.

I saw the drain tubes on each side, and it doesn't look like they are making the noise I am hearing. I was wondering what the copper pipes were, good to know!!!

Just got done driving the car around with a friend of mine, and it didn't produce the same rattle with two people in the car. I am sooo mad!!! I know tomorrow morning on my way to work it will do it though.... argh

LMAO, you ripped out your interior for a rattle?

i used to have a folded fast food napkin closed in the visor to keep it from squeaking.

[Jean]

Yeah I am not giving up until I figure it out. It's not a little rattle, it almost sounds like am metal on metal clunk/clunk/clunk sound.

I can't add padding if I don't find the source of the problem first right ?

No progress with this still. It's not the drain pipe, not the copper pipes, not the a-pillar cover or the rearview mirror, not the sunroof or it's mechanism.... The passenger side suspension including the camber plate was removed and cleaned/ re-installed. The battery is tightly mounted with a new hardware. I thought maybe it's the passenger side hood height mechanism but outside of replacing the roller piece on the edge of the hood I have no idea what else it can be. Checked the sway bar mounts, checked the engine mounts, nothing appears to be loose.

I got nothing else left than to pull the dash out and go for a drive w/o it. I pulled the glove box and the plastic cover under the ecu already, the ecu is mounted tightly on there and I don't recall if the right side of the dash could be rattling against the windshield frame or anything near it....

Did you look under the seats?

I'm going to laugh my ass off if you have a pop can rolling around under a seat!

[Jean]

I don't drink or eat in the car, so no there is nothing under the seats.
