Love the huge moonroof, but the windscreen is so ugly and useless.. anybody agree?
I absolutely love the huge glass moonroof on the RDX - especially how it can make the interior feel more spacious at times - its a shame i cannot open it to any other position than just the vent/tilt due to the crazy noise/pressure at any speed above 15-20mph...Anybody else notice this?
Also, for the first time i parked the car with the moonroof opened to full and noticed that the cheap, mesh wind deflector thing is not only useless, but terribly ugly and cheap looking. Granted i drove and pulled the thing down and the pressure/bass in my ears was even worse, but is it just me, or is it impossible to drive more than 15-20mph w/out the ear pressure when all windows are closed. Sure, I can crack the back window and it seems fine, but to me that defeats the purpose a bit...
Curious if there is a solution..maybe a DIY modification to the wind deflector thing???....not sure about this one....

That's the downside of an aerodynamic vehicle. It is called Helmholtz resonance. Not much you can do BUT open another window.
