Noise coming from sunroof
OK guys, this is kind of a weird one. I've had my car for about a month now, a 2003 automatic SE. The past few days I've noticed a weird sound. It seems to be coming from the left side (driver's side) of the sunroof. The best way to describe the sound would be a ball bearing rolling a few inches and then hitting something and stopping. I notice it when braking and accelerating because you can hear it rolling, then it hits something and stops. Has anyone heard of this before or have any idea what it might be? I really don't want to take in into the dealer for something stupid like this if I don't have to but it's getting annoying! Thanks for your help.

I thought it might be that too, but I hear those rattling around all the time, not just when I'm driving the Max.

I did remove the wind deflector when I first got the car but I'm pretty sure I got all the hardware out. It was just 2 brackets, 2 screws, and 2 nuts. I'll double check though. Whatever it is, it doesn't interfere with the sunroof opening and closing at all. It's just an annoyance. Oh well, looks like I might be making another trip back to the dealer.
