Default How to get rid of wind pressure @ 30 mph?

I am new to the coupe world. When the sunroof is open and I am driving about 30 mph there is a lot of wind pressure in the cabin.

If I crack the window, the pressure disappears.

Is there an aftermarket part that can be purchased to alleviate the wind pressure w/o having to open the window?

Thanks.

close your sunroof about an inch.

Do you open the roof all the way? On my '99, if you do the "one touch" on the sunroof button the roof slides to a point about an inch or two short of full open. At this position, buffeting isn't bad at all, even with the windows closed. Open it all the way manually, and unless you crack a window, it's like being inside a bass drum.

You do need to manage the aperture somewhat to defeat the standing wave, and it is dependent on speed.
