Default anybody fix roof rattle by padding?

Ok guys - I know this has been covered in other posts but my roof is making noise again. Has anybody used a dynomat type substance on the roof? Did that fix the problem?

How does the roof panel come off (the top by the sunroof)?

Some guys say they went to the store and bought foam - what type of foam?

Please post anything possible including pictures and/or links. Thank you for your help.

This might help. I am not sure where your rattle is coming from but this seems like a good idea.

Your rattle sounds a lot like the wiring rattle from the dome light (upper center when the hatch is open) that others have described. There is a fix discussed in one of the above threads re: that particular rattle.
Also if you type "tC and rattle and fix" into search you will get many more threads to peruse. You may also want to take it to the dealer. Good luck.
