Harness connector loose in the headlining behind the sunvisor. Ours developed this rattle on the way home on day one. Dealer dropped the front of the headlining down, secured the connector and has been OK. - although many other rattles have developed since!!!!

Definitely there? I thought I had a rattle coming from there, turned out to be in the roof console (holds the Pano roof switch).

No,it definetly is near the sun visor,plus I don't have a pano roof.
Thanks anyway.

I get a tinny rattle (like silver foil being agitated by wind) which my wife thinks is from behind the near-side 'A' pillar cover. Is this a similar sound to the cable one? It starts when the car is doing about 70 mph, but then never abates unless the car slows right down. Do the cables run up the 'A' pillar? It's possible that the sound is nearer the sun visor, and I can't locate it personally at all, but my wife is adamant it's the pillar (and she's never wrong!).

This noise is the black a pillar capping moving in the wind and squeaking against the glass. On my second set of caps and this set have started squeaking again on the near side.
Bad design.

Thanks for that explanation! Did you get them changed under warranty?

No I have had 2 screens in 18 mths, just bad luck.
You will have no problems getting them changed under warranty though.
Give them a wiggle and you will hear the same noise you hear inside at speed.
Stick to your guns because the stealer will say they have never heard of this before, from anyone, honest !!!

Drop the overhead console and feel left and right, you will feel a couple of modules. insert some foam between these and the roof. it fixed mine.
I also have the A pillar sound which is really annoying
