Rattle in back seat or rear deck area....Sunroof cable?

I reported a vexing rattle to the dealer when they performed my 20k service on my '01 SE. Whenever I go over a seam or joint in the pavement, I can hear a noticeable buzzing or tapping rattle eminating from the rear portion of the car. It sounds like it is at "head level" in the back seat, so I don't think it is suspension related. The dealer said that the spare tire was not screwed down all the way. They tightend it, and the noise abated somewhat.
However, in testing a theory today that the noise might be related to the sun roof, I drove home with it open, (city driving so I could still hear over the wind noise), and the rattle failed to materialize. Is it possible that the sunroof cable has some slack in it that causes it to rattle when the roof is closed? Does anyone know where the motor and cables are located?
I appreciate the help. The car is marvelous, and, if I can fix this rattle, it will be quiet and tight as a drum.
Cheers,
Erik
