Sunroof sticks up, causes wind noise. (Pics added!)

well I'v been having some bad wind noise comming from the sunroof & i would just close the sunsshade, well i can still hear it & i noticed that the sunroof sits about 1/8" up from the top of the car, & it seems to only be on the one side. Is there anything that could need adjusting?

Also durring a carwash I'll get water on the inside!



All the pics were taken while standing at the passenger side mirror looking back across the car!

Sound like the glass isn't coming down all the way. The arms push the glass up and there may be something in the way preventing them from totally lowering. Look on the inside and see if there is anything holding them up. There is a little tab in a track .

Looks like the glass is not coming all the way up in the back as well. If it's just the one side giving you problems, you probably need to replace the plastic arms that articulate the window. The trim definately needs replacing, too, and will eliminate your water problem as long as you can get the roof within 1/16" of where it is supposed to sit when closed.

sorry it doesn't show it in the pics, but both rear corners look like that.

Its allmost like the motor needs to push it another 1/4" jsut enought for the rear to pop up & seal & th efront to set down in its channel.

I can't really go out & look at it cause the whole car is covered in a sheet of ice. gotta love the midwest, tuesday it was 70*, wednesday it hit 10*!

I'd suggest removing the overhead console then the moon roof motor.
Then hand crank the moon roof until it sits where it should.
Reinstall the sunroof motor then open and close to verify proper fittment.
