Sunroof rattle

2014 GS350 Luxury. Isolated annoying rattle to the sunroof. On a bumpy road I can push up on the back of the sunroof frame and it stops. Anyone do this repair? Thanks, Rich.

@Richb1954 - You just need to replace your sunroof seal with a new sunroof seal.

Replacing the sunroof seal did not solve my torsional flex roof/sunroof creak, unfortunately.

You can prop the glass up by unscrewing the bolts in the front portion of the glass then let it rest on something ( I used two balled up socks). Make sure you align the the front screws after you've replaced the seal.
