Keen to 'deaden' some of this external sound I'm adding some weight to the roof panel using the same method as the side panels; self-adhesive flashing tape. It's a proven method as shown in the image below, Volkswagen stick this stuff in at the factory, albeit they're rather economical with the amount used!
