sunroof wind noise

[DLX]

I am noticing that there seems to be an annoying amount wind noise coming from the sunroof when closed but the shade pushed back.  Seems to be worst at 70mph.

I have wiped around the seals with a damp cloth.   The seal appears to be fine with no damage or obvious marks.

Anyone else noticed this?

Is the sunroof flush with the roof? Any misalignment will cause wind noise.

Noticeable, yes. Annoying, not really. Although, on the motorway I tend to have the blind drawn and that eliminates it.

Yes, I have noticed the same wind noise from the sunroof when the blind is open; improves significantly when the blind is closed!

Yes. Not enough sound isolation on the sun roof area. For best results, keep the blind closed... or turn up the stereo volume up into mid 30s.

ok so it appears to be normal!

yes I had noticed significant improvement with the shade cosed.

I haven’t noticed any noise from the sunroof, tried it with the blind open and didn’t think it was noticeable apart from what you would expect with a bit less insulation, ie the blind.

This problem is a known issue for several problems such as wind noise, knocking/thumping and water leaks.   It is after a seal.  While it will look ok the variation of temperature from very cold to very hot over time allows  the composite material to flex and contract without actually looking as if it changes from one day to the next.   It is the culprit for knocking that occurs as the car bounces over bumps in the road allowing the glass panel to bounce up and down just enough to make a thump.   It is also know to leak rainwater into the aperture but because the drain hole system is very good the water gets away easily so no fear of it getting into the headlining.    The bellows each side of the open sunroof are easily unclipped exposing the splined bolts that hold the glass in place.  These bolts allow for fine adjustment for up and down movement  in each corner to ensure the glass fits flush with the roof panel, not too low or high.   The seal can be removed easily with the glass panel removed and a replacement seal has a green dot in each corner to guide you where the corners of the seal must be when refitting the seal.  It should not be stretched otherwise you will move the green dot out of it's correct  corner position.   Not a time consuming job and should come under the car's warranty if you are hearing wind noise, thumping or know water is getting past the seal but with the side bellows in place this would be hard to identify initially.  However any water stains to the heading around the aperture will be an obvious indicator.

Normal noise issue with sunroof on any car in my experience. Even having the shade slightly closed should help.
