Default Open sky noise at 60+mph

The car is going in tomorrow for a few things. Open sky is #2. So far, nobody has offered any optimistic feedback. Dealer can't replicate. Dealer made it worse. Sort of scary?

Anyone else have anything to share?<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a3/msgs/76562.phtml">original post</a></li></ul>

Default I think you need to take a valium. I haven't been to the dealer yet.

my feedback so far, has been from other members on audiworld.

Default it's not a typical noise that we should live with. it's more like

a buzzing noise. as if you have a rack fairing up there!

Default No noise to speak of but I do have the problem with the shade retracting slowly. I'm afraid to take

it to Audi to be fixed because I'm afraid they'll make it worse and/or break something else. Worst service department I've ever dealt with.

It is fixable; believe there's a bulletin on it too. (Clean &amp; align)

Default I posted awhile back on how to fix the noise and adjust the open sky yourself. Do a search for open

sky noise. It should come up. It's very easy to adjust the glass yourself and mine has been noise free since I did the adjustment.

Dealer "lubed OpenSky seal" on mine and that fixed the wind noise.
