Default I Finally Found the BUZZING noise

Finally found the annoying buzz coming from behind me. It is not the privacy shelf. It is in the assembly, overhead, that goes across behind the seats, on the roof. It holds the sunshade assembly when opened. Something in there buzzes when on certain road surfaces. Now, the question is, how to access that and do something to stop that damn buzzing.

Maybe one of the wizards on this forum will come up with a good idea to squelch that buzz!

I'm betting one of the trim clips which hold the cabin bulkhead panel in place has come loose/not fully seated/bent etc.
The F-Type clips look a lot like these (Chrysler ones): https://www.ebay.com/itm/20Pcs-Fit-C...hZ7E05&vxp=mtr
Going through my copy of the Workshop Manual this panel is a bear to get at and remove, as you need to remove a bunch of other trim panels out of the way first, and as usual the Manual instructions are so vague as to be pretty much useless.

you know, at first thought, great idea! And then we realize that gunk will be all over the sun shade. But keep those ideas coming!

Is it a buzz or perhaps a ticking sound? Does it only happen when braking? The latter happened to mine:

You'll have to turn up the volume for the recording. It's definitely there.
