Before I go to Lexus and they tell me that this is normal......

My 14 is exactly like the ops. It rattles over bumps and is very loose at the rear passenger corner when jiggled by hand while closed. I haven't a chance to investigate it further but plan to mention it the next time it's due for service ... assuming I don't fix it myself first. I'd really rather they didn't rip apart my headliner and likely mangle a good deal of stuff.

Problem has been fixed. I decided to fix it myself.
I have no more leaks, and its dead silent now. It took me 15 mins and $9.00.
I bought the neoprene rubber self adhesive strip on Amazon.
This is how I applied the strip,
There are no holes, because the neoprene rubber is spongy, so when you close the sunroof, it compresses under pressure. I went with 1/16" or 1.5mm strip, a thinner one could of worked as well.
The lid is still opening / closing and sitting properly.
So, I'm finally enjoying a rattle free ride

Nope my '13 does not do that. Snug as a bug. Sorry that happened to you...they can fix it though. I would only be concerned with the removal of the headliner. WIth side curtain airbags it's a pain. I'm in the business, I know all too well.

son of a.....
I checked mine and it moves on the passenger rear side.
I must admit, i hadnt noticed it before i read this thread.
This is the first car i've ever ordered/bought new, and i plan on driving it for at least 5-7 more years. (only have 8,500 miles on it now).
so the big question: do i let lexus "try" to fix it, get an extended warranty in case it ever gets worse, or just leave it alone?
No rattles or leaks that i know about.
