Default whistling sunroof/moonroof

Hey guys,

I've owned my 4runner now for about 2 years and have put about 55,000 miles on it.

It's a 2003 limited v8. I love having the moonroof/sunroof, but last night, my wife and I were driving home and I opened it up to enjoy to the night air - my wife asked me to close it and I did.

Once closed, it started whistling like crazy from as far as I can tell, the passenger, front side of the moonroof. It whistles at speeds above 30 mph and gets progressively louder...

HOW do I fix this? It has never done this before, I've checked the mechanisms and they all seem fine, it operates normally, is as water tight as ever (I checked by pouring water where the seals around the moonroof touch the body of the vehicle)

Has anyone ever had this problem???

Please help!

You could try lubricating the seals with some silicone spray.

That might help them close better and avoid the whistling noise from the wind.
