excessive sunroof wind noise - 06 RX-8

I purchased a new 06 in May with less than 500 miles that the dealer still had and got a great deal. Love it so far except for the fact that the sunroof (when closed) makes a ton of wind noise at speeds over 40 mph. I'm taking it to the dealer next week. Any suggestions of what I should watch for? I don't have much trust in dealers.

Sorry - I wasn't specific enough. It's when the sunroof is closed.

there's TSB for the sunroof: http://www.finishlineperformance.com...29-06-1651.pdf

take it to the dealer and make sure it's been done.

It's very excessive wind noise. Closing the plastic shade won' t even drown it out.

You should also grab a tech and force him to drive with you on the freeway.

but don't they only perform the TSB if you're having the problem described on the TSB?
