Post Re: Rattle in roof on cold days

Hello,

I actually do not have a Hybrid - but I do have a 07 Camry SE - I bought May 07 and in Sept (under 2k miles) I noticed a noise to be coming from the sunroof - it was like big rain drops - it seemed to do it non stop in the mornings but in the afternoon not so much. LONG story - sorta short version.. after going back and forth the dealership (5xs) .. thinking they corrected it each time and it was still there.. they contacted a Toyota Rep from Houston (2 hr drive) he came a few weeks later and I brought in and of course it didn't make the noise - so again I left upset.. they said to bring back once it did it more often.. well to me it was often.. each morning when I would head to work.. <sigh> well it's now May again and the noise is still there - I have again started going back to the dealership - they said they figured it out and had to order a part - 4 days later I get my car back they replaced the housing and NO noise - I was so happy to have the noise gone that I failed to noticed that I had numerous scratches and a broker tuner knob - 3-4 days later I called them and was going to bring the car in and have them fix it - and on the way to the dealership the noise was back worse then before.. of course the tears flow - now I have to hand my car back over to the people that didn't take of my car the last time well the manage said they actually had brought my car to another place to replace the housing (have no idea where) and that they would take care of the car.. well I took the manager for a ride again and they said instead of them trying again - they would call a Engineer to come down and work on the car. It would be a few weeks.. well I called last week and was told there was a "new" bulletin out re: sunroof rattle .. and that the engineer wants them to try that before he comes down. I dropped my car off yesterday and I am now praying that whatever they are doing is finally going to fix the problem - the manager showed me yesterday after they took the top off - showed me each side as where the glass slides in (I'm sorry I'm not sure how to explain it) and pressed against it and the rattle stopped - So.. maybe.. just maybe. I will post and let you know more info if it works. I put a video up on youtube a while back asking for anyone ever had the problem since the dealership made it sound like I was the ONLY one ever with this problem.. Anyway - sorry to rattle - said it was a short version but ha... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpsTIFSbNmY
