Default Wind noise on sun roof?

Has anyone listened with the sun roof hood slid back, but glass/window not open(with radio off) and can hear any wind noise whistling? I can hear the slightest little bit when traveling on the highway at 70mph, but my hearing it great also. It's not annoying, but my ear can pick it up. My wife couldn't hear it. We just had a big rain storm and it didn't leak so that's good, but wondered if others have same problem but didn't notice. I don't hear a thing with the sliding door closed between me and the glass.

Next time you take a ride on the highway, stick your ear up there(but keep your eyes on the road) and check it out. Let me know. I may take it back if you guys don't hear anything on yours.

Thanks.

um... i hear something... but then again, traveling at around 70mph with the moon roof open, you're bound to hear some sort of whistling. thats why i dont drive with it open at high speeds. but i drive with it open on the streets, and theres a slight sound, but seems normal to me, and its not bothersome.

There is definately less noise when the cover is closed (as opposed to just the glass being closed). for long trips, I'll close it (but Ii prefer having the whole roof open and all 4 windows...

Anyone notice that it is much LESS windy inside with all 4 windows down (as opposed to the front 2?)

I kind of noticed that... nothing major. But what I do LOVE is the fact that the rear windows roll ALL THE WAY DOWN.... not some half-way down crap that a lot of cars have. Makes rolling down all the windows look clean and flush.

off topic here a bit...but for some reason having all four windows down slightly at only 3/4 (slightly more than half-way up), all windows aligned even....that's looks best to me. I might even do with with the a/c on. A window completely down (no window) looks strange to me...i dunno why. but anyway, it's great that it will actually go all the way down.
