Default Sunroof Wind Noise

Anyone got one?

No, my sunroof's not open, or tilted. Sounds like its leaking from around the rear area of the weatherstrip. If I close the moonroof, its sufficiently muffled.

Thoughts? I've heard horror stories about service and sales at the dealer in San Antone, and Austin's kinda far...

i think i may be having the same problem but i can only hear it when its a hot day and the car is going around a corner or something. i think this has already been discussed in a previous thread may want to search around!

I find that the moonroof significantly cuts down on the noise. There is a little bit of noise from the sunroof.

Now, there is a difference between hearing a little bit of noise, and a lot. It should sound like a low fan, not an open window...

I had wind noise from sunroof at high speeds and it turns out the sunroof glass was warped slightly. Once they replaced that, no more wind noise at high speeds. That was in 11/06 and it's been silent ever since.

I can hear wind when mine is FULLY closed, but the shade is pushed back.. if the shade is pulled up, then nothing.

Thanks for all the input. Philip, it seems like you, brel, and I had similar problems. If I had to guess, I'd put mine down to weatherstripping, not the glass itself, because I've also developed the typical weatherstripping-on-metal noise caused by poor fit and lubrication between the two. This surfaces during maneuvers that sufficiently test my chassis stiffness .
