99 v70 Sunroof issue

Post by 413luke »

Hello,
I have a 1999 v70 base and am having issues with my sunroof opening at higher speeds, ex. 55mph and above there is a large whistling sound coming from the front of my sunroof
I have tried adjusting screws to help a little but seems as though something may be broken, anyone have any ideas?

It might be good to wait for warmer Spring in case it gets stuck open. You can get dirt in the tracks which will jam it up. Check the condition of the seal that goes around the rim, that’s replaceable.

Ah, the 413. Many memories of commuting my girls to Holyoke and Smith….four graduates!
