Moon roof flapping sound

Has anyone noticed a rattling sound - much like a piece of paper flapping - when they have the moon roof full open? I hear something similar when driving in my car at about 50-60mph and have the roof full open. I it a little more pronounced when driving behind another car or truck due to the turbulence for that vehicle. It is not real bad but one of those things that gets your attention.

Happy New Year!

How about when the roof is tilted up?

P-B-77.10/24b APR06 addresses a rattle noise with roof tilted up at high speeds. The rattle noise is produced by contact between the water drain gutter and tilting brackets and corrected by modifying the water drain gutter.

I will try that and see if the sound is there. Thanks.
