Default Sunroof is loosing?

Hi guys. Does anyone sunroof is loose like me? I'm not sure it is but when I popped it up not fully slide open, and I drive on unsmooth road surface. There is noise from sunroof like it's loose. It doean't happen if I slided it in the roof.

Anyone has idea how to do with this? It bothers me every time.

Mine rattles horribly and I can't seem to find exactly how to tighten it up.

BUT, if the roof is in the UP position, you can see these plastic "covers" on the sides that cover the rails, if you touch them, they are very loose, I don't think they are supposed to be. It appears to be where the rattling is coming from in mine.

When the roof is closed, it's fine. Only rattles when opened.

Yes, right. When the sunroof is closed or slide in under the roof, there is no rattle sound.
Also Those pieces are loosing and I don't see how to tight them up too. I just don't wanna go to dealership again..

VW dealership near my house always extremely rip off Vdubber. Quote me $100 for my Cabrio radio code but I went to another further one FREE.
