You may have to take a day and visit all the junk yards in your area. Maybe you will find one but will they have the same issue as yours? that is the question.

I've tried every online source and received confirmation from GM that there are 0 available worldwide. Aftermarket sunroofs are not an option due to the factory one having a larger opening.

I for my hands on a brand new hummer sunroof with tracks still in the box. I will have to install it in my 08 and see if the rattling goes away.

I haven't been home in a couple weeks but I'm going to try it on the '04. Last two times I opened it it didn't want to close. Fine before that.

That happens on my 05 and when that happens I close it by pressing the switch a little at a time and not pressing it all the way so it automatically closes. it works everytime.
