Default Wind Noice Sunroof

When driving with the windows close there seems to be a lot of wind noice coming from the Sunroof. It seems to be mostly on the front area, if I put a bit of up pressure trying to lift the sunroof panel the noice gets much worst, so I can tell is from the front. Do any of you experience something similar? I have tried putting armor-all on the gasket but this does not seem to make any difference also the gasket does not seem to be hard or broken anywhere.

What do you guys think, time for a new gasket? or is there some kind of adjustment? The sunroof opens and closes perfectly and it is flush with the rest of the roof.

Just crack one or both windows slightly, removes some of the buffeting.

Yes, I know about the window when the sunroof is open, the noise I am referring to is when everything is closed and I am driving with the AC on.

808Bill, the gasket you referring to is it the one that can be seen from above sealing the sunroof panel with the roof, or is there another gasket under that one somewhere. Hard to believe that thin gasket is all that is keeping wind and water out of the car.

There is a sealing frame and a trim frame. See #8 and #9 here http://www.autoatlanta.com/porsche-p...section=805-00
