RE: 120mph??? Yes.

I get a weird buffeting sound when I open my sunroof in my '88 90.  Odd
thing is my dad's '89 80 (same basic car) doesn't make the sound.  I think
it's the interior in my car.  Mine is leather, father's is cloth.  Something
about the air rebounding off all the solid surfaces or something. It's
really odd.  I just  don't open the sunroof to wide open, or I crack the
rear windows to 'vent' the interior and reduce the noise.  I guess it's
kindof like blowing air over the neck of a glass jug - makes a hollow
resonating sound.  A theory anyway.
