pano roof fabric cover noise?

While driving around 50+ mph do you guys get a noise from the fabric cover of the pano roof hitting the sides. mines seems to flap around and make an annoying ticking sound. anyone else have this problem?

do you mean when you're driving with the windows open, sunroof closed, and shade extended? mine flaps alittle too. but when it's all closed up and driving, it's motionless. silent.

Its the way Airflows inside the cabin, can't really fix that especially if the shade needs the gap to move in and out. Opening rear windows may stop air from going upwards directly

Exactly, I have found with this car more than any I have ever owned, if you have the front drivers window open without any other windows you get a pulsing sound. It is very annoying.

Like Kyoshiro said you need to open a rear or opposing rear window to get rid of the pulsing noise. I would imagine if you open the shade with the pano closed and a window open you will probably hear the same noise.
