Car shakes when the sunroof is off - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I have an S13 fastback with the glass flip up sunroof (or moonroof?) that can be removed and stowed in the trunk. I drove with it off for the first time and the car begins to shake a bit at about 15-35mph. I never went above 60mph, but it does appear to happen only from 15-35mph.
I guess the wind gets in and hits the back of inside of my headliner/roof/hatch and priduces a bit of lift/resonance?

How can I stop it? I am sure this is not normal, as Nissan put the feature on the car, so I am sure it is meant to work.
