Default Sunroof wind noise

When I tilt/vent the sunroof on our '06 LX, the wind noise has gotten very loud (not when the roof is slid open; only when tilted up). Nothing seems to be bent or out of alignment w/the roof itself or the deflector/seal... has anyone experienced this problem w/their LX? Any input is appreciated.

i had some sunroof rattling once. it didnt matter what position it was in, if it was anything but closed it rattled like hell. i got so pissed one day i pulled over, shut it and shook the **** out it to try and figure out where it was rattling from i realized over the drivers side head it was a bit loose so i popped off the plastic around the border and saw a 1/4 inch screw completely loose. i tightened it back up with a phillips and it never rattled again. although sometimes when i open the roof at high speeds the wind enters the truck too fast and causes turbulence between the lips of the glass and the shade cover which causes a little noise but this is solved by just shoving the shade cover a little farther back. i know this doesnt address your issue directly but as a suggestion just open it and give it a little shove and shake with your hand and see if u can notice anything thats less than tight

that wind sound coming from the sunroof when tilted is normal my lexus has that wind sound when i tilt my sunroof even my other cars that i had in the past have had that sound when tilting the sunroof, of course when you tilt the sunroof there gonna be a little wind and sound coming in because its slighty open right, unless you close it shut so theres no noise.

What I didn't explain well is that it used to be much quieter than it is now; something changed...
