Noise from Roof Center Counsel

[bigwalts4runner]

Today I noticed that there was a rattling sound coming from the roof anytime I went over rough road. I narrowed it down to the center counsel where the sunglasses go, it seems to be the map light, but I am not sure. Has anyone experienced this sound before? And does anyone have a fix for it?

I hear a noise like loose wiring. I've already had that overhead panel down once, just yank down on the forward edge. I'll be searching for my rattle when I get back in town, will let you know what I find. I've only had the truck a week, lots of little issues to tinker with.

mine does not rattle per se, but it does makes vibration noises at certain frequencies of sound. I haven't figured out a fix.

I tried puting a piece of insulation between the center counsel on the roof, and the sound still continues, I have no idea what it could be, but it is very annoying

I have a black 03 4runner, mine rattles up there only when it is hot out or it has been in the sun. I have had the light assembly out, and still can't find the source of it. Maybe some modeling or something that loosens when it gets hot. If anybody has a fix, would love to hear it.
