took of my headliner and disassembled my sunroof because of the incessant creaking when going up a ramp, lo and behold, the sunroof is not at fault but the god damn steel frame itself!

the red circles are where the noises are coming from, driving me freaking nuts!!!!! I want the noises to stop, any help? even as simple as accelerating, noises can be here in the joints
 
Weld with a hot glue gun or drill & screw in some short fat sheet metal screws or shim in pieces of nylon, rubber, vinyl - I would cut pieces from the black pvc case that housed the free AOL CD that came in the junkmail. or, Maybe you could just lube the creaky parts with WD-40 or wheel bearing grease. My buddy brian would fix the situation by turning up the radio. You could even mount strut tower braces going fore & aft accross the large opening-- it sounds like the sunroof cut-out has weakened the structural integrity of the car, allowing the chassis to flex.
