MG3 Hybrid Sunroof Buffeting

[glend14]

So I have a very annoying sunroof buffeting problem on my MG3 Hybrid. Even at low speed, if it's completely open it starts drumming and sounds like it's going to rip off. Never had any sunroof problems like this on other cats I owned. As there is no front sunroof dam or pop up cloth screen, I am thinking it's a design issue. What have other found? It's fine if it is used in the back lifted ventilation position. Is there some way to stop the buffeting?

Glen. I think the reason you are not getting any response is that we don't have an option for a sunroof in the UK. On previous owned cars when I have had a sunroof I always had some buffering wind noises. So much so that I would never have a sunroof, as I find them overated.

Yes I suspect your correct. The sunroof is standard equipment in Australia on the top spec Hybrid model, at least on those few delivered to date. I have a solution now, just cracking open the rear window slightly seems to eliminate the buffeting. I can understand the sunroof being not desirable in the UK, just let's in the rain.

I would welcome a sunroof.
