E36 Rattle Help Please

Jfnugent@Yahoo.Com 15 April 2005 22:47:14
 I have a rattle that is located just in front of the sunroof. It is not
the sunroof itself. There is a panel where the switch is. If I push
and hold this area the rattle stops!

The question is how do I remove this panel and get at what is
underneath. The area looks like there is a cutout, I don't however
want to damage the headliner. All responses are appreciated.

 That panel is held on by small clips. You can use a small screw driver to
gently pry it off.

That's where the sunroof motor is housed. Could be one of the (3?)
screws holding the motor in place has become a bit loose. You won't
damage the headliner if you use a flathead screwdriver - the panel is
held in place with plastic tabs. the problem is that you might break a
few of those - that's what happened to me. There were still enough to
hold it in place afterwards though ...

Let us know how it goes ...
