Question Adjusting sunroof movement?

I noticed that when fully closed, the sunroof on my wagon does not come flush with the roof. It stays just slightly below the roof level and you can definetely hear the wind whistling when driving at highway speeds. Nothing too bad, but since the car is otherwise quite silent, it gets a bit annoying. It does not leak any water, though.

Is there a way to somehow manually adjust the movement of the glass so that it would close flush with the roof? I can also do it by moving the rear of the glass just slightly towards the "vent"-position, but I would like it to close properly the way it is supposed to.

Thanks guys in advance for any and all help.

If you tilt the roof up and remove the plastic side panels by the glass. Then you will see the screws. Loosen the 2 rear screws and close the glass then adjust.

Thanks, Tech!

Not perfect yet, but it seems like the rear end of the sunroof is a bit tight when it is coming up when closing it.

At least it's much better than what it was.
