Sunroof Noise?

My 2003 sunroof is noisy on the highway. Is there a way to fix or head to the dealer?

if you have a sunroof deflector, make sure it is installed properly

The dealer will also do this fix free if under warranty if you prefer. The dealer showed me how to fix it myself with the shims.

Including test driving, it took me $3 in shims and less than an hour to get mine whisper quiet up until 70 mph. I have to hand it to Housecor and his 'how to', it's pretty idiot proof. And I'd rathe pay $3 for the shims and do the work my self rather than hand my keys over to some Nissan 'technician'....

Back windows are next.
