wind noise through sunroof

asked about this ride before, still have it, going to keep it, totally stock, just did a clutch on it, after repairing a slave cylinder that was leaking, wish i did the clutch then.. the mileage is all interstate house and job just off the exit, purely a commuter. only the drive seat shows any wear, dash no cracks or blemishes, gauges all work, cleared the dash of dummy lights, O2 sensors front & rear.

nearly prefect inside & out, paint is not terrible, but 20yrs old.. top ends valves changed not long ago. she really runs great. i've about got her about where i want her. until i rebuild her in the future, think i can do better than 300k, not smoking and the shops says compression is good, not going to abuse her, start the engine 'fund' be ready for it tho.. just about to enjoy her for the summer

ok, prob now is the sunroof, it's not leaking now, but was under a spray wash until i clears drains when first getting her, but i can hear air, it's not going to get better. gasket i assume? is there anything else besides the gasket itself i might need ? 

thanks, love the show.. bought it after seeing ur tennessse svt episode. happened to be looking at one and you sold it scotty with your upload!

Yes there is a gasket there check the gasket and also make sure the roof is sealing correctly sometimes they close cockeyed and of course wind noise will occur that

A sunroof can be a problem on an old car for sure. I've found on mine that I have to reach up and press it forward a bit to stop wind noise, especially after having had it open, no doubt due to shrinkage of the 25-year-old gasket. (There's a forward lip I can reach to push on from inside the car.)
