Was just wondering, what effect should the sunroof do when it is in the tilted position? Does it give more lift or downforce? I have the cooper spoiler on my car....

On a smooth motorway somewhere in Europe, I was doing 170-180km/h (just over 100mph) once with it tilted and the car 'seemed' to be less stable, moving about a bit more....just subjective feeling....

Dont know about its downforce effects but it will definately create more drag - the air will be swirling around creating ickle vortices and increasing its drag.

Never heard of that happening before.
