Hey guys,

I've just notice some weird sound with either the windshield or the sunroof when I drive over 55 mph, the crazy thing is - I can't seem to pinpoint exactly where that stupid wind noise or the shake is coming from (stupid me I put my head out the sunroof and my new era hat got blown away and my daughter, 3 1/2 years old start laughing at me ) anyways, I kinda search the forum but not sure if I'm just having bad luck...

Can anyone guide me to the right place or just past a helpful link?
Thanks in advance.

Hope this helps. I have to get this done myself also.

Thanks to TonyB for posting this.

Yes, it could be the seals. Some tests others suggest is using blue painters tape all around the seals on the windshield, sunroof, and unused doors and windows. Go for a ride and see if you can still hear the noise. Gradually start peeling some tape off until you hear the sound again to pinpoint where the noise is coming from.

Any difference with the sun shade open or closed?

Not at all, I will try to make a small clip so you guys can hear; since its near the end of the month NYPD won't give me a chance to speed in order to replicate the issue. But I'll do my best.

If that is the case, you can pretty much exclude the sunroof seal as being the cause.

is it a metallic sound?? if so its the sunroof wind deflector bumping the sunroof! just put your fingers up there you will feel it touching the suroof pull it down and you see the noise stop!
