Stupid question...Venting sunroof in rain..

OK, here is the dillema folks, I just had my windshield replaced today and I can't park the car in a garage, yet its raining like a mofo right now outside.

I know they mentioned to me that I should crack the windows a little to allow the air pressure outside of the car and inside to equalize, but if I do that rain comes like a mofo into the car.

I have accidentally left my sunroof vented (with the shade cracked a little) before and no rain has gotten into the car. Can I go ahead and leave the sunroof vented so the windshield doesn't pop out??

I know that I am already running the risk of the windshield not setting correctly because of the rain, but anything to lessen the likelihood of having to reseal my windshield would help greatly.

u don't have to leave anything open...trust me..I've replaced 3 windshields (not TL) and had no problem..even parked the car in the sun of 100+ degrees....
BTW,are u replace that factory TL windshield with another factory one or aftermarket? If aftermarket, does that has the little vinyl stickers in the middle like stock? Also how much did it cost u? I'm in Houston too.

I didn't get it replaced w/ factory glass (I don't know whom the manufacturer is, but i'm 100% certain it's not PPG), but got PPG instead. Prices where good and it ran me ~400$ on my CL (I don't have a TL, but windshield may be almost the same). Everything was exactly the same as the windshield I recieved w/ the car new (dot matrix in the middle of the windshield, and around the edges, etc.). PPG is good
