laxman0324 Posted January 24, 2008 Share Posted January 24, 2008 So I have had a rattle just behind my sunroof, but now that i removed the sunroof and the shade and everything, i know it is coming from somewhere on the crossmember that goes right over the passenger compartment. I have jammed long screw drivers, meter sticks, everything in every gap i could find and it still rattles... My ides are either to... 1. find some way to remove the crossmember and leave it out 2. Cut a hole in the headliner, and get a bunch of cheap leather gloves from home depot, cut off the cloth, and jam the leather in every gap i can find... does anyone know how much weaker to roof structure will be without that crossmember? This noise has been driving me freaking crazy, it only occurs at 50+, but most roads im on are that. Thanks, Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Casey.T Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 You sure its not the spare tire carrier, roof rack or the rear spoiler???? Something in the sunroof rain tray??? A screw in the rear drivers side ashtray drove me nuts for 2 or 3 months once.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reno Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 I had a rattle in my roof. I'd get a vibration at hwy speeds - turned out it was the roof rack crossbars. I loosed them and moved them around a bit - no problems since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I loosed them and moved them around a bit - no problems since. I dont have any crossbars on mine any more. It turns out the cross members are glued on to the roof, and the glue had come undone, so i used a candle lighter thing and heated the glue up and pressed the bar onto the roof for a minute or so, and it has stopped so far, thank god. Thanks for all your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
