Sunroof / moonroof rattle

[SigPig94]

Hi all:
I have a ‘25 TRD Sport Premium with a recurring metallic rattling noise coming from my sun/moonroof. It’s not a 24/7 noise, but no matter how fast I’m going, temperature, terrain, etc, the noise comes back on a regular basis.
I brought it back to the dealer and they said they lubed it and “adjusted how the glass sits”….????
But the noise was there the day it was returned to me.
The noise is also audible when I reach up and tap/push on the sun/moonroof glass.
Any advice or suggestions would be appreciated!!

No rattle on mine. Weird. I’d keep going back to that Dealership.

make sure to show the dealership that, so they can easily test to see if they have fixed it.

Owned a few Toyota's and they all had moon roofs that rattled. I just stopped buying cars with moon roofs, for that reason and they take away headroom. Toyota has never been able to successfully fix one of my moonroof rattles. They would try something but it would eventully come back. I just gave up!

Yes, agree with this. Your dealer has already acknowledged that it's an issue so demonstrate again and expect them to fix it.

It's often a matter of part(s) moving and touching so can often be fixed by putting something like felt tape between the offending parts but given that it's a complicated system on a new vehicle you want to be sure that there's nothing wrong with the moonroof itself.

That’s weird. Every Toyota I’ve had with a sunroof including current 4Runner and past runners never had an issue.

I may just have bad luck and PTSD now. I won't buy a car that has one.

I've never had a car with a rattling sunroof!

My incoming TRD OR does not have one because I am cheap... (they only offer it on the ORP)

My sunroof frame was replaced due to a rattle when the sunroof is open. It took about a week to repair and they had to drop the headliner. This was about 4mo ago.

I dropped it back off today as it's rattling again

Shoot...well I guess I am not alone...Toyota still can't fix their moon roofs!
