R57 Rear Passenger Panel Noise

Rear Passenger Panel Noise
I have a 2010 R57 and have noticed an increase in a very specific vibration or clunk sound from the rear passenger side.
My initial thoughts were the seatbelt retractor was loose and banging around over gentle or more major bumps....however this is not the cause of the sound. Would it possibly be a result of the Harmon Kardon speaker not being secure within the panel?
Any advice or prior experience would be greatly appreciated

walk0080 - All R57's have a "sunroof"
e46jb - "clunk sound from the rear passenger side"
To those new to the R57, there is a small Gremlin that lives in the trunk. He is very hard to locate and get rid of. Most owners never find him, they just hear him bouncing when going around a corner and he wasn't paying attention. He's kinda like a poltergeist in the attic only smaller.

Now that is funny. I mean hoping the dealer finds a noise. You must be pretty young or you would know; all gremlins take a nap at the dealership.

58 years young. I can get it to make the noise by just tapping the gas on in gear on the service drive. Since they will hear it i hope they can fix it.

Nothing was loose as I recall, the technician mentioned that the R57 flexes a bit more than most so the door catches need to be spot on, so, he moved the latch in and up a little he told me, that way the door is shut tighter and also higher so any flex will not clonk in any potential gap between the latch and the lock (hope that makes sense)
