Default noises from sunshade moon roof

so last year when i had my sunshade + moon roof track replaced. the noises went away but now, another one came up.. with the sunshade closed, is quiet but with the sun shade open, the wind noses..

is this normal? i have an appointment next week to have it look at along with the wipers issues and the window rolling down after i close it.. is this something warranty would cover?

thanks.

All these sound like issues the warranty can address. I also have a lot of wind noise with the sunroof shade open.

Had the same problem with my 2013, Lexus of Orlando replaced the sunroof seal under the CPO warranty.

Looks like it's a toss up whether the wind noise is normal/acceptable? Based on some of the responses, seems like this is standard. Maybe that specific day i was driving the outside wind was at a higher velocity, because upon testing it today, it wasn't THAT loud. Just louder, but it wasn't unbearable. Now i am not sure whether I should address this issue or not...

In my case, it was a trade off to get rid of the sunroof rattle and accept some wind noise only when the shade is open (being closed there is no wind noise). I did notice some very minor finger print spots (only if you look very closely) around the headliner sunroof area so I do not want the dealer to be adjusting the sunroof area anymore.
This is my concern with anything that is "non essential" repair work. The fear of something getting worse if the dealer tries to rectify the original issue. Currently, i have no rattles up top in that area. I do remember rattle issues on headliners for previous cars, so I am now wary what would happen if the dealer were to start messing around the sunroof area...

I believe this is a known issue for early 2013s. I've taken it to 3 different dealers and they are telling me the wind noise is normal. BTW. if you look really close, it will also drip water around the corners under heavy rain, but the water goes into a safety channel.
