Sunroof rattle 2012 C300

For the love of all things holy can someone help me fix this god forsaken rattle noise?

Once I am going above 55 mph - the front area above my head near front of sunroof starts to annoyingly rattle.

Yesterday I ordered Velcro strips to see if they help as well as various lubricants and various lubricant sprays.

My hope is I can mitigate the rattle on my own using YouTube and these above purchases but in the meantime should anyone here know exactly what I should try - please help!!

No just a standard sunroof.

Is it the sunshade? It might be loose.

No because once the sun shade is pulled back the sound doesnt change - it’s a loud rattle near front - I’ve inspected the bolts and have noticed anything out of order - it’s so frustrating - I’ll take it into MB when I have time... if I can’t fix it. Thank you for trying to help.

Could it be coming from the wind delector?

It rattles with the sunroof open or shut - the other idea is I had my weather strips professionally painted - they look better than new - but I’m wondering if any of the clips inside there are not tight.

But it sounds more like its coming from the roof in front and above me so.

Oddly tonite no rattle for the first time on the hour long 80 mph commute - it’s as if the car knows I’m angry with it. But it was windy out and the crossing noise was terrible.
