Default Opened Sunroof and Headliner

My interior sunroof panel was drooping on one side scraping the leading edge of the headliner when opened so it was repaired under warranty. I've had my 997.2 for only a few months and haven't had the snrf wide open until lately.

At highway speeds I've discovered (other than the noise!) that because the interior headliner is only fabric - not a solid panel - it tends to flap/shudder from the wind turbulence with the snrf opened. I can see the rear edge of the headliner shudder and flap through my rear view mirror. I imagine that over time bugs, leaves and other road debris will collect under the headliner? Not to mention the stress, wear and added drag.

Is this normal or a faulty repair? Another P-car quirk?

Thanks.

There is no way it's supposed to be that way!

So is it is or is it ain't??

I'm returning the car to the dealer next week for other issues and would like to know one way or another.

i noticed it had a piece of metal running across sewn in, u can feel it.. should be fine.. if you click ur sunroof again to make it go all the way back instead of the 3/4 position it defaults to it really flaps badly.

The headliner is hung with a number if clips. Make sure they are all correctly attached...
