Sun roof fittment

Any one get lots of wind noise over 90 MPH from the Sun roof, or notice that the sun roof moves about 1/4 -1/2 inch out when you close the door, thinking of bringing it back for adjustment or something, thanks

most cars with a sunroof you get wind noise, and with the re-call thats on the sunroofs i would bring it back just to see what the dealer tells you the re-call was its better to be save

Over 90 mph? Please do tell us where these roads are that let you drive over 90 mph legally. I'm not going to take a car in to a dealer and say ""Hey, there's a noise when I'm going 30 over the highest speed limit in the state. Also, I hear a rattling every time I do a power stand or a 4-wheel drift through a 90 degree turn. Please take a look!" hehe

Any sunroof is going to have air leakage at certain speeds. As air rushes over the outside, the air pressure on the inside increases the faster you go. This pushes out at the weakest point (sunroof) There's a video somewhere of a sunroof flying off of a car at the dragstrip. It was kinda cool!

I know it is going to leak at speeds, but it seems to be leaking excesivelly. Can some one tell me how much the rear of the sunroof stick out from the rear when closed. I am just trying to determine if I have a problem or that is the way it is. My sunroof is about 3/8 inch higher in the rear that the roof when closed.

mine is flush with the roof when it's closed. I have measured it but I would noticed 3/8 pretty readily.

Well no wind noise here at 120mph, and its been tested several times.

Sheesh, 90 is a everyday thing.

Thats normal for the glass to pop up and move when the door is shut. Every car with a sunroof does it.
