Default Del sol roof loss

About a month or so ago I was crusing down the highway with my buddy in his 98 Roush stang well we got going pretty fast when I guess my roof started making a lot of noise like it tryed to suck off the car

Not sure is air was getting under the edge or what but it wasnt cool

Just curious if it may need adjusting and if this has happened to anyone else before

Thanks

I think something is broken. I've been 150 mph in my sol, and the roof was fine. It does creak, but that's more from turns than high speed. are you sure it's latching correctly?

When traveling at high speed, there is a low pressure zone created over the top of the car. This is what causes lift on an airplane wing. The force can be quite strong, and I've seen sunroofs that weren't secured properly get sucked off the top of the car.
