Has anyone tried a wind deflector with their sunroof? I can't drive on the highway and listen to the radio with my sunroof open because of the wind noise. I noticed Bavarian Motorwerks advertises one. I also wonder if they'll fit with my roof rack on. Thanks, dennis
The factory one doesn't diminish noise. It's just a little bug deflector screen that pops up. Also, the problem was present before the roof rack went on. Good thoughts though. I'll check out the one from Weathertech also. Thanks a million.
It could be the roof rack that is making all the noise.
Nope. It's the sunroof itself. Thought the same thing when I tried out a friend's Cooper years ago. After getting mine, the sunroof is loud as hell when open. Aesthetics (and a convertible in the driveway) prevent me from getting a sunroof wind deflector.
