might be bad support brackets

Part of the byzantine support system in the sunroofs (at least the motorized ones) are a set of four brackets that hold the inner panel (the one with headliner material) to the tracks. Part of these supports include a plastic shuttle that is tensioned against the rest of the bracket with a brass spring. I learned about these when I took my SR apart to find out why it wasn't closing all the way -- when putting the brackets back the plastic piece came loose and the spring sprung it across the yard, never to be seen again. Result: I now have the rattle. (I intend to replace these the day after tomorrow when I tear out the headliner and redo it.) Something similar may have happened to your car, either through age or use. It's not especially difficult to replace them, beyond the usual cursing and dropped pieces and such. You'll need replacements, sets of two each of the following part no's:
# description
693-7452 RR Clip Assy SR
693-7429 FRT Clip Assy SR
these part numbers work for my car, a 1990 900 SPG with a motorized sunroof. you might want to check with your parts supplier or the Saab EPC, if you have it [if you don't, I can burn and send you a copy] to make sure you get the right ones.
And your Bentley manual, of course, as it has the procedure for replacing the sunroof. Follow that until you get to the part with these clips. And good luck!
