If the moonroof rattles when closed, you probably need new lifter arms. Call Webasto at (800) 837-8498. Order left and right Starlight 4 lifter arms (about $30 + shipping). Install them (these sunroof replacement instructions might help); it takes about 30 minutes. You have to remove the glass first. The screws holding the lifters can be reached from inside the car. It's tricky putting it back together but not difficult.

Another fix some have had success with involves the metal rollers that the sunroof slides on. These rollers are about 3/8" in diameter, and the fix is to put a thin rubber sleeve over the rollers. Some people have used shrink sleeve and others have found rubber or synthetic tubing that can be forced over the rollers. While this fix often cures the rattles, if the material used can't hold up to the abuse the open/closing action of the moonroof creates, they will wear thru and the rattles will return.
