Sun / Moon roof chatter

I'm on my second FB and in both cases, the sun roof rattles. Has anyone come up with a fix for this??

Ive heard a rear strut/shock/whatever bar fixes it, but Ive never tried it. You can get a rear bar from Manntis' website at www.rotorhead.ca

Mine does not rattle at all.

Have you tried replacing the seal that seals the sunroof when it is closed?

Both - I know it's the catch mechanism that causes it. There's a little play where the pins drop in and I can't figure out how to tighten it up. I do need a new seal but that would only help when the roof is closed and maybe not even then (no leaks by the way) - I'm going to keep mess'in with it - if I can fix it, I'll post the results. Someone posted something on this way back but I can't find it - seems to me someone had it figured out.
