Pinpoint Test C : The Roof Opening Panel Has Excessive Wind Noise: Notes
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2018 Ford EcoSport. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
During normal operation the sunroof seals against the roof opening tightly and evenly preventing wind noise. Any failure to seal will cause wind noise.

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions
NOTE:
It is normal to have some amount of wind noise when the roof opening panel is in the OPEN position. To determine if the wind noise is excessive, road test the vehicle at approximately 100 km/h (62 mph) with the roof opening panel closed, a single rear door window open and all remaining door windows closed while observing the level of wind noise. If the level of wind noise observed with the roof opening panel open (with all door windows closed) is greater than the wind noise observed with a single rear door window open, the wind noise is excessive.
