I used the above. I purchased some dash removal tools from the bay toavoid scratching and somefelt tape. It is fairly straight forward and if I can do it I would expect anyone can!

Cant find it. All the saved posts I have link to that thread. Gently pull the vent up then there are two screws to undo before you can pull up the next section.There is then another screw and you need to pull it straight upwards towards the windscreen. You shouldn't need todisconnect either of the wires as there is enough to rest both itemson top of the dash.

Next up is to line everywhere possible with felt tape!

That bit needs wedging with something or several bits of felt tape. There are two screw on a beam behind the HU. You need to prize of the front of the dash and undo the 8 screws and remove the HU. Then tighten them up. As suggested by others if you have time put felt taper wherever parts meet and it will help.

Whereabouts are you?

Any ideas on a rattling sunroof - only happens when I have it on tilt?
Did you ever find out what it was as ours is doing it  :scared:

^ Saint Steve on his never-ending quest to find rattles  :evilgrin:

He sorted mine - Thx buddy! :drinking: - Was simply one star nut on the dashboard passenger side.. The driver's side fusebox one was still as tight as a nun's nasty [cue for a tasteful but sexy nun pic?].

 :notworthy:

I have never been so happy to find two lose screw's.

Both mine were virtually out I checked whilst I was at work, so I have hand tightened them for now till I get home.

I hope this fixes the rattle.....Its got to of been that making the noise :pomppomp:
