2002 E-320 Noisy roof

Whenever I hit a hard bump or drive on a rough road the roof almost sounds like a kettle drum. Today while polishing the roof area behind the sliding moon roof (?) it went thump/thump/thump as I rubbed across it.

I'm certain others have noticed it but wonder if they just ignored it or solved the problem without rippping out the interior.

Thanks for suggestions...
Don

Thanks, I'll call the dealer in the morning and check with them.
