I seem to have much more wind noise from my sun roof as of late. I have not noticed any leaking but considerably more noise when driving (with the glass closed) at speed.

Anyone else experience this?

The dealer adjusted sunroof on my car and noise is much lower. There is still a little but much better.

I have done all the recommendations. closed the sun roof, blasted the cd, ect... but I still have wind noise. The real answer is to realize that wind noise should be accompanyed by speed. If you travel at a minimum of 100mph the wind noise is as natural as the sun rising in the morning. I therefor believe that wind noise is God's way of saying speed it up I made this machine to be driven.
