I thought I would give try and get rid of some of the air turbulance from the sun roof by using one of the roof mounted air deflectors. Put it on didnt think much of it until I was going down the fwy today at about 75 and having a actual conversation with the wife. I had forgotten that the sunroof was totally open from our cyn drive earlier. It really works so for those of you that like to drive over 40mph with the sunroof open give this a shot. Sticks on very well with double sided tape which is supplied.You can get it thru your mini dealer for about $125 or you can get about the same thing from Pep Boys for $29.95.You can search the net under Windflector and you need the 32.5 inch model. You make the choice

If you hold down the spring-loaded deflectors, the wind noise is considerably less. But there's more turbulance inside.
