Sunroof messed up

I'll bet this has been brought up before, but I'm curious if Toyota did a recall and I missed it. There is an annoying rattle coming from the sunroof right above my head, not bad except when I'm on gravel roads.
The second problem is I have to tap the button several times to adjust the "closed" position of the sunroof. When it thinks its closed it's actually still a little elevated..
I'm new to this site, so sorry if I've brought up a old thread, but if I can get it fixed at no charge, I'm taking it in..
Thanks,
Jeff

NV003-03 HEADLINER RATTLES (REVISED)
"6/11/2003 - 2003 Toyota 4Runner. Rattles from the moon roof (sliding roof) and headliner may be heard when shutting one of the front doors with all of the other doors and windows closed or when traveling on a rough surface."

BO016-06 MOON ROOF STUCK/IMPROPER OPERATION (REVISED)
8/25/2006 - 2003 – 2007 model year 4Runner vehicles.

Some customers may experience a moon roof that exhibits improper operation, such as:

�� The moon roof does not close from its fully open position (an improper jam protection operation occurs).
�� The moon roof is stuck due to a difference of alignment between the right and left parts of the moon roof.
�� Sliding parts are stuck due to hardened grease. (This may be your problem)
These are NOT RECALLs but TSB's ( Technical Service Bulletins) which are essentially warranty repair notices. TSB's are usually good for the 3 years or 36,000 mile per factory warranty.
If you become a PAID subscriber to Tundrasolutions ( http://www.tundrasolutions.com ) you get full access to all of Toyotas TSB's

Thanks for the feedback,
With over 140,000 mi. The only hope I had was a recall..
With a TSB, I am sure I'm on my own.
It's certainly something I can live with, but would rather not have to deal with it.
Thanks Jeff

As highlighted part of the TSB reads:"Sliding parts are stuck due to hardened grease." (This may be your problem)
