Got a small rattle (like a loose wire) right above the driver's head. It's quiet enough but I would love to get it stopped since the rest of the car is so quiet. Anyway, I am planning on pulling the trim off around the sunroof and pulling down on the headliner to peek in.

Anyone have a better way or an easy way to remove the headliner?

Why not just pull down the overhead console first and see if something is rattling in there? Unscrew two screws and pull down carefully. Takes a little effort since the 4 rubber 'teeth' are not very flexible to slip out of the headliner.

See pics here and here

I can tell it is coming from directly above my left ear. No noise coming from the console.

I have that same rattle and it turned out to be a loose rivet on the sunroof.

Note sure about the TSB. Just have them take a look. Maybe suggest you think it is the sunroof.
