Subject: E36 Sunroof Rattle(not) fixed!!

BemrBoy and others,

I thought that I had a sunroof rattle (97 318i), but after some investigation (car parked, sunroof open, tapped with my fingers in various areas in and around the sunroof [also held down the air deflectors]) the rattle appeared to be comming from the sunroof motor assembly. So I removed the sunroof switch, pried open the cover to the sunroof motor in the headliner, and tighted the sunroof motor mounting screws (torx screwdriver required), repleaced everything (making sure that none of the wires could cause a rattle) and the rattle disappeared!
