Pinpoint Test A : The Roof Opening Panel Has Excessive Wind Noise: Notes

Normal Operation and Fault Conditions 

When the roof opening panel glass is completely closed, it is flush with the roof panel. The roof opening panel weatherstrip provides a seal against adverse weather conditions such as rain and wind, preventing them from entering the passenger compartment. A damaged, deformed or incorrectly installed weatherstrip is unable to effectively seal the glass. The roof opening panel air deflector deflects the air flow over the roof opening panel when the panel is in the vent or open positions, a damaged or incorrectly installed air deflector is unable to effectively deflect the air flow. An incorrectly installed roof opening panel frame may also allow air/wind to leak into the passenger compartment.

Possible Sources 

• Incorrect roof opening panel alignment
• Poorly fitting roof opening panel seal/weatherstrip
• Incorrect installation of the roof opening panel and motor/module
• Incorrect curvature of the air deflector

Visual Inspection and Diagnostic Pre-checks
