If your Stinger's sunroof rattles, and you have tried everything, I came across this fix on stingerforum.org. I wasn't fully confident doing it myself, but after three trips to the dealer, I got sick of it. It was super easy, and I wanted to film it for people like me who might be worried it's going to be too difficult.
Before this fix, I'd tried everything - detailing the roof seals, regreasing everything, taking it to the dealership (three times) for them to tell me there was no issue, attempting rubber on the 'foot' of the roof, removing the bug shield. Nothing worked. This was the only thing that made a difference for me - hope it works for you.
Check out the full thread if you're still having issues, by googling 'Concerns - Popping/Creaking Noise from Sunroof' and finding page 45 on the thread hosted on StingerForum.org. Thanks to everyone in that thread for doing the testing and work.
The adhesive rubber I used:

Great work, just a suggestion, you can buy foam door seal for a house door from local hardware store. Its self adhesive and can be bought in various widths. No cutting to width is required then and it looks neater.

Thanks for the awesome video mate. Unfortunately, it looks like I now have a new project to do this weekend.

Thanks for this. It's driven me nuts for the two years I've owned mine. Only respite is on warm days. Winter here in the UK the rattle is audible even with the cover closed. Gonna try this the next dry weekend I get!

I tried it today and followed your instructions step by step . I had been experiencing this Rattling for the last 6 months. It took me ( having no experience) about 45 minutes to do that. I used 1 X 1 Cm strip. After having a test drive for 30 minutes, i can conclude that the rattle is gone. There is a little bit of rattling noise when i drive on an uneven part of the road or small pothole ( It is normal , isn't it ?? ). Thank you Man for taking your time to show us the solution. 🙏

I'm glad it worked! It's crazy that the solution is so simple, and can be done by people like us with no experience!

Bless you for posting this. I am gonna give it a go tomorrow. My creaking/ rattling from this sun roof assembly is not terrible, maybe 5% of the rattle you had prior to the fix, but unfortunately my ears are fine tuned to hear imperfections in my car ever if they're subtle 🥲. I will say that I had a bit of a creak kind of noise from the door seals when big first got my car about 2 years ago and I used "Gummi pfledge stift" to lube the seals and I have not heard that noise since then. So I would use that product on the seals of the sun roof rather than replacing them to be honest.
