R56 Sunroof Rattle

Sunroof Rattle
Hi all...we have a '09 MCS which we love...the only issue is a consistent rattle in the roof..yes, we have a sunroof...
It seems located in the center of cross member....
I have exhausted every effort to localize the problem but to no luck....including the dome light and the trim rings in the front and back...
Has anyone experienced the same and if resolved...HOW?
Thanks

I have a similar issue and I have come to the conclusion that it is the rear glass panel. Unlike the front panel, the rear only rests on its own moving arms which allow some play. It vibrates when driving over rough surfaces and causes annoying noises.
A lot of people have solved this by adjusting the panel, but I believe there is a more permanent solution:
BMW ETK
Look for part numbers 54 34 7278097 and 54 34 7278098. These are buffers for the rear panel, which in my case are nowhere present. I believe BMW must have issued them later as a remedy to the vibration issues, but cannot be sure about it. Check to see if you have any rubber buffers where the panel can rest upon when closed... If not then these may be of help.
(I am in the process of acquiring those myself)
