Sunroof motor access.
Just in case someone needs this info
While driving with the sunroof open I sometimes could hear a small rattle noise.
Took me a while but finally figure out how to get to the sunroof motor area.
I removed the dome light covers using a thin plastic to get in between the four corners of each cover.
With the covers removed I could see 4 little tabs. The tabs will release the tray and access the motor.
With the tray out of the way, I was able to see one of the bolts for the motor laying inside the liner on top of the sunglass holder.
Used a magnet to recover the bolt.
...and found the spot for the missing bolt.
To get the bolt back in using a long screwdriver you really have to push against the edge of the hard plastic to get it lined-up because the bolt is almost covered by this plastic.
I checked the other bolts are they were still pretty thight.
btw, to get a little more room moving the dome light assembly, you can carefully remove the wires from the clips on the left side of the tray.
or ou can pull down the edge of the headliner by the sunroof and try to unplug the connections.
The headliner is held by 3 spots with velcro, one on the center and one on each side about 16" apart.
Put everything back in reverse order.
