Thirty tiny pieces of velcro felt later ...

I cut strips of velcro felt (as I couldn't find regular felt) and put them on the roof steel at every contact point the plastic could possibly rattle against. There are several tabs on the upper part of the plastic sunroof molding, and even more "feet" on the underside which can hit the bottom of the metal as the headliner bounces. They are staggered in location. But with some finese, the felt will go on nicely and the molding will clamp back into place much more snugly that before.
I just did this like a few hours ago, so haven't had a chance to ride and test yet. 6 (or 4 1/2 + V1) hours on 95S should be the proof. Is there a patron saint of frame sability, quiet interior noise, who can resist the demons of rattle!
