    Sunroof wind noise

    Lately I have been getting loud wind, not from my bottom for a change, but from the sunroof. I have tried lifting the front and dropping it but not sure where it should best sit. Have any of you guys had the same problem and managed to come up with a solution?
    I'm hoping it's not a new seal jobby coz I'm guessing that will be a tad expensive (Rufe??)

    Please help, coz it's driving me MAAAAAAD!!!!

    Not sure if this is your problem, but it narked the hell out of me until I found out about it.
    On the 850 the auto open will on all but the earliest cars take the roof to a point about 90% open. Reason being was that early customers complained of buffeting when the roof was opened. So the switch was adjusted to open it to an optimal point so it didn't happen so much - and you can push it to open it to the full open position too.

    Other than that, not sure what to suggest.

    Cheers Phil. But my problem is when the roof is fully shut. Although, for some reason, it does seem to seal better after shutting it from the 'slide' position rather than the 'tilt' position.

    Have you tried lubricating/cleaning the seals? I used some spray silicon lube on mine.
