I haven't noticed anything like that at any speed and I open the sunroof often. If I were you, I would nag the dealership to get that checked out and fixed.

I haven't experienced that problem myself. I don't remember having the roof open when I'm going in excess of 60 or so, but I haven't had any shaking in the 4000 miles I've driven.

Yea, when I first got mine, i was accelerating to pass my friend and I thought the damn engine was coming apart or something. Im not too bothered by it though, the last car i had one of those deflectors on had major leaking problems.

if you're talking about the low pressure pulses you get when you just have the sunroof open, well, theres nothing you can do.. Same thing happens on a lot of cars.
you create a low pressure area inside the car that keeps trying to balance itself, hence the rythmic pulsing.

of course, if you're talking about something else you may need to be more specific.

For those of you who have this problem and beleive it has something to do with the physical sunroof you should really take it to the dealership to get looked at since the car is under warranty anyways. Don't blow this off, it will only get worse and not better. I think I recall reading something in the warranty that states if you find a problem with your vehicle and do not take action quickly and allow the problem to further develop the dealership may have the option to turn you away.

no it is just the wind going over the sun roof and it shakes it i had my friend drive next to me when i was on the freeway and he said once we got to like 80 it was vibrating like crazy so when i start to go that fast i just put it down i wanted to try it a lil faster but did not want to break the sunroof cause i was going like 115 and figured it would like snap it off or something

yea my guess would be that its just the wind hitting under and above it at the same time and just making it shake. might want to take it in just to be safe. like they say better safe than sorry.

I get the same thing at about 60, but not all of the time. I think you're getting the same effect as blowing across the neck of a bottle or jug. That pressure differential causes resonation, hence the awful noise.

K i had this too, i went to the dealer and they fixed it, i can go at any speed and it won't vibrate, its just the clips or screws on the rail that makes it vibrate ask them to fix it, took them 10 mins.
