Sun Roof Noise

So just like the title says we have a noise.

It can be heard once your traveling about 50 mph +.

Is there an easy way to adjust or should we take it to the dealer and hope the extended warranty covers it?

Are you hearing it when the sunroof is closed? There was a TSB for it I believe, so it might be worth bringing it up to your dealer. Check out this thread here: https://www.northamericanmotoring.co...d-sunroof.html

Yes.

From outside,I can push the front of the front panel down about 3/32"-1/8" when it is closed.

That thread is from 2008,any newer issues?

It's a common complaint with many threads. Most of what is said is alignment or bad seal. That one in particular gives you good info so I'd give your dealer a call to see what they say first. Otherwise, you could try adjusting it to see if it helps.
