    I've wondered if the stance of my car is wrong because of the obnoxious howl that results from driving with the sunroof open.
    If I disturb the air flow with my hand it quiets down though.

    Is this just the way it is, or is something not right?

    Is your flapper flapping up? You know, the little air deflector jobbie right at the front of the sunroof hole.

    Now that you mention stance, mine is rather ass down as it were. To the point that I want to spend the time and money to swap in fresh springs to kind of even things out while raising them some to reduce the pretty drastic inner tread wear out back.

    So maybe my tail-dragging stance keeps the sunroof noise out of the 'howling' territory?
