I got a 95 Saturn SC1. I am pushing two RF 10's with about 600 watts and sounds good. I have lined just about everything in my car to keep the plastic on wheels from rattlin to pieces. The only thing that I haven't been able to keep from rattlin' hard is the sunroof. Well not the actual sunroof but the sliding piece that you can close to block the light. Anybody know what I am talking about? Is there an easier way to fix the rattle other than gutting 75% of my interior just to get at the top side of that cover to lay on some dynamat or something?

If you don't need to open it, seal it in place with RTV. If you do need to open it, get some rubber or foam and fill the area between the sliding part and the sunroof, then you can remove it when you need to open the cover. Other than that, the only way is to rip apart the entire headliner, which can be a REAL time consuming process.
