dynamat and all, the car is as def to noise rattle as anything can be, except... lately there's been this creaking noise in the back end of the headliner (sounds like directly above the airbag computer spot, maybe a bit further back. and i can't figure out what it is. i've hit the roof in the spot a few times and sometimes it'll shut up for a few days, but it keeps coming back. the car does have a sunroof (maybe moon? whats the difference?) but does anyone know what could be up there that can rattle in the first place?! O.o and if so, how can i get to it to fix it. thanks for any help in advance.

Moon Roof Is When It's Fully Opened.

Sun Roof Is When It's Tilted Up Slanted.

okay yea. it's a sunroof, and i know this is gonna sound stupid, but how do you get the headliner down without messin' anything up? i've never taken one off, and i'd rather not find out how to remove it the hard way (sorry for newbie interior question)

and no, on the freeway it's over powered by other noises usually. but it does it alot when i'm going up drive ways/over speed bumps and is the worst (duh) when going over brick roads.
