Help Me With Lil Problem pls

[DAVE_RSi]

rite basically i have a lil problem

after driving 4 a while last night got a bit hot, opened sunroof, think i then may have parked near sum bushes kinda thing

anyway driving later on and i hear a rattle kind of noise from sunroof, well more like a stone or sumin small and round moving! i get it mainly only when going round corners, its like a stone rolling around from sunroof area, the back part of it

its very weird and does it with and without sunroof open

i had a quick feel last nite and couldnt feel anythin

any1 eva had this b4, sounds like sumins either broken off or sumins got stuck in the sunroof runner bit or where it sits mayb???

any suggestions????

[DAVE_RSi]

What year is the car, cant you take the Sroof out? loads of my old cars allowed you to unclip the roof and it came out.

 

[DAVE_RSi]

its a 1995 N reg rsi, so yea can prob unclip it, will have 2 c if noise is still there later and unclip and c what i can c

b a bit off 4 a stone 2 find its way in there, will have a look, if no luck try 2 unclip it, then try 2 suck anything out or poke around down the edge

noise is fairly loud so must b sumin of sum size, must b quite round aswel as it sounds like it rolls quite freely down there

Sounds dumb, but it isnt something in your boot that just sounds like its in the roof?

 

[DAVE_RSi]

nope deff not m8, first of all thought it was arial bouncing off sunroof but thats ok,

i put hand up around that area and could feel sumin rolling around slightly, so its deff at back of sunroof! its fairly loud aswel when going round a corner so its a pain,

mite just check boot first lata on now just 2 avoid embarressment

Get a stick (maybe a chopstick or something) and a blob of blu-tack on the end.

Then, time to go a-poking!
