GLE w167 rattle/knock from roof

I have 2019 GLE with panoramatic sunroof. As it’s colder outside now I am getting terrible rattle like metal to metal knock when I drive over bumps. It’s not from seals, it’s coming from the top left driver side.

Any idea how to solve this would be much appreciated.

I reported a similar thing to my Dealer, but closer to the center front. They fixed it and reported an improperly positioned connector.

It's part of the GLE experience. Solid build, dealer will take care of it.
