Good morning @Wonky_DonkeyAh whoops - I did do an all round photo shoot - but the unpublished shots are not quite from the correct angle to see the left / right roof alignment gaps - I'll do some for you in the daylight
In regards to pano roof wind noise - I'll be honest I do have some even with what looks like a relatively well aligned roof. Weirdly though some days I notice it from about 30mph +, but other days I don't notice it until 50mph +. It's similar to the noise a side gust makes on a windy day, so more of a whooshing noise than a whistle. I'm in the process of ordering some different sized foam rods to see if that helps reduce the noise at higher speeds. It's one of those noises that is difficult to describe. It might be normal - it might not be, but it's not so bad that you'd get upset about.
As I've hinted at before my #1 issue is with my main centre screen which keeps blanking out on sunny days. It causes my whole SYNC4 system to reset and defaults me back to "Active" mode (my car normally lives in "Whisper"). So essentially the system resets and the screen dies, the remedy is another hard reset via the steering wheel controls. Only takes 10 seconds to reset, but in the recent spate of warm weather I'm having to reboot my screen every time I get in the car after it's been left in the sun for more than an hour. My last comments on here were picked up on by Ford and they are looking into a fix for me. I don't believe it's a widespread issue as none of the others who have UK cars have reported it. It's just lucky old me There is a thread regarding this in the main forum as a few of our US friends have reported the same issue.
That is really kind - sorry to put you to so much trouble ? It will be really helpful to compare the "gaps" on your car ?
Thanks for your thoughts and experience re: the wind noise, and will be interesting to see what effect the foam rods may have. I must admit I have almost accepted that there is little that can be done with the roof alignment gaps, other than the type of approach you are looking at.
I noticed your earlier post re: the screen, which does sound slightly worrying - and defintely frustrating. Is it extra sunny where you live ?
But it's good Ford have at least picked up on this for you - hopefully they may find some sort of solution ?
Thanks again,
David
