Just started doing it yesterday but when the suroof is completely closed and I'm traveling 30mph+, I'm getting a really annoying whistling/howling. I guess that tells me that there is a bit of a "leak" somewhere and that air is getting through (which also worries me with rain). The molding seems to be in really good shape...not cracking and it's still really soft. Is there any easy/cheap fix for this? Can I just use some sort of petroleum/sealer?

Any help would be appreciated. I really don't want to have to have new molding installed if it's remotely avoidable.

 

Look at your sunroof when it's closed. Is any part of it above or below the roofline?

The sunroof glass should be flush with the roofline more or less. If not, you'll have to add or remove shims depending on if your glass is above or below the roofline.

Go check it and post what you see. Sealers dont work.

Sometimes you can play with the roof a little, open it and close it again, Tilt and close it, or tilt it a minute amount and the hiss will go away.

 

Get a hose, or a bucket full of water, and dump it over your sunroof. If water spills onto your seats/console, you probably have a leak.

 

Seems to be flush for the most part but the front corners appear to be seated a little below the surface of the roof. I can't pinpoint the noise because it's so loud that it just seems to be coming from everywhere. I do know that when I use the tilt option to open it, it is also making a bit of an odd noise in that position as well. So it's not just making a noise when it's fully closed.

Can you tell me more about the shim option? It's really driving me crazy with how annoyingly loud and high pitched it is.

Thanks

 

that's what the cloth shade is for, pull that over the the glass and the wind noise goes away
