Sunroof wind noise worse than average???
Just picked up our 04 last night. I have the regular power sunroof and no roof mounted deflector. The wind noise with the sun shade open is more pronounced than any other car I've been in with a sunroof. I've checked the seals all around and can't find any indication that there is a leak or improper seating of the sunroof assembly. I do know that this roof is much more curved in the front and I'm thinking that is the problem. The noise is actually LESS when you tilt the roof open! And if you really want quiet I just pull the sunshade and the noise is abated.
I'm asking if you all have the same experience, or maybe there IS something wrong with mine. I'll have to add on the ugly deflector if this is just the way it is.
Thanks!

Funny thing is, under the rear dash, in the rea of the driver side subwoofer, there is an annoying creeking noise when i hit bumps.
The dealer has to take it apart ans see wahts loose.

Rattles and wind noise...The more Nissan changes, the more it stays the same. I was hoping for an improvement in this area with the 6th Gen max. Your problem with your sunroof is typical of similar issues with many 2k3/2k3 sunroofs. I had my dealer realign my 2k3 and it is somewhat better but not noiseless when closed. Appears the fit on the 2k3/2k3 is not of close tolerance. Some are ok, some are worse than others. Have your dealer realign it.

Problem solved!
Guys...happy to report that my dealer (Action Nissan, Nashville) made a few minor adjustments to the roof and voila, perfect! Car is quite as a church mouse.
I won't need a deflector, after all. The integrated wind deflector works just fine, and I never have liked the way a roof mounted deflector blocks the view out of the roof. I hope I'm the only one with this problem, but if you do, it should be an easy fix.
