Yeah, it is a pretty common problem, the weather stripping is junk. I always just did the latch thing to keep it down.

LOL. my latch is broken as well. But mine is a bit odd in how it broke. The metal arms that raise and lower it... well one of the arms came off, like the pin fell out. Gay.

my latch only had one arm when i bought my car so i bought a new latch and the thing was quiet. then the stripping broke and it whistles yet again. where can u get replacement stripping or can you not replace it?

like i said, ive only seen 1 s13 with an automatic sunroof in person. perhaps some of the forum elders will comment and set us straight. i do know, and u may call me a corn ball, that in Need For Speed Underground 1, the s13 comes with a manual sunroof. just a useless tid bit.
