There was startling noise coming from the overhead console area. I took the console out and it wasn't the rattle source. I took the headliner down and saw nothing. I suspected the sunroof and as I began to remove the mechanism covers to pull it out, I found a screw in the sunroof track sliding around. There were no missing screws in the sunroof assembly so I determined it was a bonus screw. I removed it and the noise went away. I reassembled the sunroof covers and headliner and had no issues since.

After days of troubleshooting they found what I had told them, the door latch sensor on the drivers side was fried and it could not tell if the door was open or closed. Consequently the smart window kept going up and down a 1/4 inch like it normally does when you open and close the door. Even with the car off it was going up and down, eventually killing a battery so I had to buy a new one.
