Does anyone know where to get this sunroof trim? or what it is called/part number? It rattles like crazy when I am driving. Thanks.

gatorcruiser, it's call Sunroof Trim

The rattling may be coming from the sunroof's mechanical parts vibrating together. Mine has that problem. The wind deflector rest on two rubber pads (one in each front corner) when the sunroof is closed. Over time these rubber pads compress and get hard causing metal to metal contact, which causes the vibration (buzzing). There is a couple of threads on here about that and some fixes.

I believe that part is only available new in grey color. Cruiserparts.net can send used in the right color. I might be inclined to order new for the less-brittle plastic and paint it...as the used ones will be prone to breaking easily like the one you have.
I actually just ordered 2 of them from cruiser parts about 2 weeks a go. Sad how much the other pieces have faded. Im probably just going to paint all of it and a few other parts to get it to match. Just need to find some matching paint.

This forum is great. Thanks so much, again!!
My truck is on a weight reduction plan. If something nonessential breaks the whole lot goes.
They can be removed in place, however they cracked easily. If your replacing than this isn't a concern. There are two retainers if I remember near the edges that hold it in place.
To say these things crack easy is a understatement, you poke it wrong and it will break. Any reason not to just keep them off? Increase noise? dirt getting into the rails maybe? Suprised we havent found a suitable replacement for these. guessing they are too big to 3d print.
No issues with leaving the trim panels off (I never open the sunroof however), been running mine for about 10 years that way; most of the original panels either broke when removed and/or crumbled in my hands with light pressure.
I stuffed a long sheet of two sided aluminized bubble wrap type insulation up
above the sliding door to cut down on heat coming through the glass. FWIW.

mine just broke off, just the passenger side (i guess that is right, when looking for a replacement) i’m going to order a replacement from cruiser parts and wondering about those retaining clips. both clips and the bit of plastic between them, are still stuck up in place. do i need to save the metal clips? i tried pulling them out but they weren’t coming easily. any trick to getting them out or just break the plastic and yank?
do you know if anyone else sells that part?
mine is oak but from what i understand you can only get grey. planned to either paint it or just ignore the color.
that site says 13 available. guess i’ll find out. for $27 plus shipping i’ll talked the risk.
Mine broke - brittle from age & sunlight - I don't care - going nude from now on.
