Rattling Sunroof

I know this topic's been beaten to death, but I can't help reiterate how crappy the sunroof is! After only 1300 miles, this thing's been rattling up a storm! The sunroof on my 01 Altima never did this. The way I see it, on the 01 Altima (and probably the previous gen Max's), you had to hold down the button to open and close the sunroof for it to either tilt up, or slide open all the way.

But on the Max, Nissan must have felt obligated to make their flagship sedan sunroof open with the slide-lever feature. I noticed that when the sunroof slides open, it 1st tilts up, then goes back and you can see the arm-hinges do this. Just looking at that makes you wonder how much effort into quality they put in for it. I was driving on a pretty smooth road today, and whenever I brake to slowdown, it rattles.

Has anyone taken their rattling sunroof to the dealer with any success on fixing it?

I haven't taken it in because I can't just make it happen. Like many bugs it just sort of happens. I have noticed that if I push upward in the front middle of the glass it will stop. I'm 800 miles from teh 12k mark so unless it starts to happen uncontrolably I'll have to fix it myself.

I was driving to the dealership this morning to try and get an oil change when it happened. I haven't paid much attention at other times because any volume setting on my stereo after 10 wouldn't be noticeable. I SHOULD'VE asked for the service rep to come and take a ride, but as is, the damn service dept was booked with appts and I couldn't even get the oil change done.

But your probably right.......when I go in there tomorrow, the rattling will suddenly disappear!
