A week or so after I got the car I opened up the moonroof. When in the fully open position if you hit about 50-60 mph you get an extremely loud thumping noise. I put my hand on the roof behind the sunroof while driving and it was shaking so hard it felt like it was going to cave in. Turned the knowb on the moonroof two clicks closer to closed the noise almost went away all together. Opened it back up all the way and the noise was there again. When I pushed down on the little piece of plastic that pops up in the front of the opening when you open the moonroof, the sound again goes away. So, I took it to the VW dealership and told them about this, one of the technicians drove it, and then drove 2 more brand new (off the lot) GTIs and they have the same problem. I was told this was normal and simply an aerodynamic problem that all GTI's have.....anyone else have this problem?
