I know loads of people have had the annoying overhead rattle and my car is no different. I also thought I had a rattle coming from the steering column but it turns out its all coming from one place. Others have mentioned it stops with the sunroof blind closed or by applying pressure to the metal cross bar where the blind closed. I noticed if I moved the visor the rattle would go mad.
Mine is the same, I am not sure if the plastic roof and trim expands in the heat and causes the rattle. Any type of pressure on the black strip stops it.
Anyway yesterday I thought I would stick some foam in and it has got rid of it 99% of the time. I am not sure how the dealer can fix it but it looks like the headlining would need dropping and further investigation. Its a shame some car's are fine.
Mine started out only on rough road surfaces and has just got worse.
Red arrows show the black metal/plastic cross bar part. Adding any pressure stops a rattle. Green shows where I have crudely added some foam wedged in. First image is the drivers side.
