Related but different sunroof rattle
My 2004 started with a sunroof rattle last week. This is definitely something new, as rattling sounds drive me nuts. I’m obsessive about having gear tied down tight, because I can’t stand a rattle. I initially thought it was the new roof rack I installed, but after a road trip this weekend, I isolated it to the sunroof. I’ve been over these threads, but I figured out my problem is slightly different and I need some advice. It seems that the control arm became separated from the windscreen, because a piece of the windscreen broke off. I can’t find that piece anywhere in the cavity the glass slides into. The control arm is loose and rattling around whenever I hit a bump. I bought a nylon spacer, drilled out the center so it slides on flush, and I’m playing with where to position it. I can reduce the rattle, but I don’t think I’ve eliminated it. I don’t believe Toyota sells the tiny piece I’m missing, just the entire housing. Any suggestions on other fixes?
