Default Open sky rattles?

About a year ago I took my car in for the TSB for the opensky buzz/hum that some people had issues with at higher speeds.
On my drive home after, the noise was gone but when I got onto a bridge a couple of times when I'd go over transistions (open sky closed) there would be a rattle.
Of course it couldn't be replicated for the dealer...fast forward to today.
It seems to be worse and is quite easy to replicate especially when the opensky is open.
I showed one of the techs at the dealer...he says yup I heard it..then when I pick my car up (after hours) on my work order it says it's unrelated to the TSB and notes that my car is lowered.

I've left messages with both my service advisor and the tech that looked at it (2 days ago)
They haven't called me back yet.

I have the other little odd noise but don't say anything because the car is lowered. This one started when the car had around 18000km on it...and I'd never heard it prior to the TSB being performed (If I had I'd have mentioned it to them then) Honestly if they'd called me and said we can fix it but will have to charge you I'd have said to do it...PITA dealing with them.

Curious if anyone else has had the same noise.

Default So there's a TSB for the rattle? I haven't seen that one.

Don Rosen is a little out of the way for me.

Default Not exactly--there's an RVU for the wimpy sunshade latch.

They're supposed to replace any that haven't been already replaced on 2006 models. The RVU code is IZ. It does mention rattling, but only because a broken latch may rattle due to the busted plastic parts.
