Warranty. Just take it in and have them fix it.

This is what i know about sunroofs from working on cars for the last 6 years.... if its screwed... its either gonna cost 100 bucks of 5 grand. (aka an entire new assembly from the dealer)

Sunroofs are a bitch, its a very precise mechanism, the power ones at least. nobody makes manual ones anymore anyways, unless you get one put in, but thats dumb, if it didnt come with one, dont bother right? Besides when manufacturers put them in they reinforce the roof structure of your car so its safe to have it in. When its custom they just cut a hole in the roof and dont add any bracing of any kind so its unsafe. But i disgress.

Thank god for warranty eh?

this was my solution after water started dripping like crazy during a rainstorm. i guess its ok if water drips all over the shifter...right?

i had to do this while the dealership didnt offer to keep my car somewhere safe and dry and they didnt offer me a rental or anything. it was sooo annoying. the water would run off whenever i opened the door and it would go alll over me and my interior.

umm... I wouldn't... because I'm fairly certain that'll void the warranty

I think i know what your problem is..... the wind is working its way underneat your sunroof and kinda sucking it up, so you are hearing a windwhistle. Happened to me in a hyundai tiburon when i had one, but it would do it around 100km/h. also in my friends 70 camaro, his windows on both doors would just kinda "suck" out and make wind whistles. Just means at that high a speed dont think **** wont start rattling and makin funny noises. Dont bother going to the dealer they will just laugh at you. But i dont think they will void your warranty for speeding, that would be retarded, they might threathen you with it though, never know i guess, theres retards everywhere. I mean you're just supposed to drive the speed limit in a fast car right?

Why not just make a smaller peice and getting a bit of painters tape(or something not too sticky) and taping it on? or better yet, just put tape around your sunroof seal so it wont leak/make noise.

If it gets wet though take it off before it dries otherwise you will have tape residue to clean up everywhere.
