How many shims ?

Okay so i have the wind noise problem in the sunroof area, and purchased some shims from daveb. i did the trial and error w/ the test drive to figure out how many shims i need on the front and back of each side to get it quite. So far ive tired 6 different combinations and none have seemed to work. as of right now, i have two in the front for each side and three in the back for each side. for the back it seems to sit a little less then perfectly flush with the body. i still have the wind deflector on their due to the paint being all messed up from it.

I'm very interested in this myself. I just picked up a 2003 on Saturday, and at highway speeds I'm getting wind noise from the sunroof. Where can I get the shims, and is there a link to an explanation of how to do this?

Thanks,
Chris
