Close the sunroof and open the sunshade. Lightly bang on the glass and you will hear the noise if it’s bad. Especially if you have the shade closed while driving it sounds like it’s coming from somewhere else.

Yeah I think I figured it out last night. It is crazy how that can sound can travel to what seems like the rear of the car. Thank you. Now I have to find the thread that shows me how to fix it
