Top speed with open sunroof?
Hello,
The sunroof can be loud. How fast is too fast to drive with it open or vented? I don't like the noise, and I remember reading somewhere that a portion of another user's sunroof had failed after driving at high speeds with it open. Any info? |

I actually forgot I even had a sunroof till I read this.
A bit unrelated, but the fastest I got with my window down was 120 and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it'd be.

The quote I posted earlier was from someone who was driving with the sunroof closed. I'm not as worried about the seal failing while it's closed, I probably won't ever drive that fast. I'm more curious about what else could fail with it open or vented while driving at higher speeds.
I thank you. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Is it under warranty? DRIVE IT! If it fails let GM fix it, they should have taken that into account when they designed it.

I'm sure its fine. Lots of very fast cars have sun roofs. Mercedes do and go on the Autobahn. They also Camaros in Germany.

I no this doesn't have much to do with the OP, but, I had a 2002 Turbo S Beetle, and the sunroof would automatically shut at 100mph.....
