“The roof of the vehicle crackles and pops when it is in the blowing section of an automatic car wash. We have never had any experience like this before.

Its been in service twice to have the drain lines cleared, and the issue remains. This has been present on other car manufacturers as a wind pressure issue where the force of driving causes wind pressure to push what water hasn't drained back up into the sunroof. …”
