Wind noise with sunroof open
as the title says, there seems to be excessive noise when I have my sunroof slide all the way back. In other cars this never seemed to be an issue.
Just wondering if any one else has noticed this and what they may have done to over come it.
I was thinking of a sunroof visor but I dont really like the look so I would want to know it definitely fixed the problem before I added on.
btw I have a 07 TL type-s

make sure that the little deflector that pops up once you slide the roof back is not sticking down or stuck in the closed position!

my moms 2003 suv, has a moonroof and it still get wind noise, same goes for my cuzins 03 BMW 330i coupe. And my little integra.
Isnt it just a characteristic of having the sunroof/moonroof open?

i would say the sound is normal. i'm pretty sure the reason they make sunroof visors is to reduce wind noise while the sunroof is open.
you said you don't like the looks of it, but that's really the only option to reduce wind noise.
i have the oem sunroof visor and i can say while traveling 60mph with the sunroof open, the cabin is still pretty quiet. before having the sunroof visor you would have to yell to the passenger just to be able to talk.

My older TL was super quiet with the roof open. The roof on the first gems were a lot flatter, where the theirs gen have a little bit of a domed shape. Air must pass over it differently.

my other car is a 2000 civic, I can have the sunroof open and be on the highway and the noise is minimal. Meaning open or closed I dont need to adjust the volume on my stereo.
In the TL this is not the case,

either way man you can compare it to any other car you have driven with the sunroof open. some may be quieter than others, some may be louder.
fact is, in the 3rd gen tl it's normal to have wind noise with the sunroof open. there's nothing that you can do to fix it without spending money for a roof visor.
