Hey all-

I'm going to be installing springs (thnx teaguer) and bilstiens soon, and I have this really annoying problem with my sunroof. When I hit a bump or other minor road hazard, the sunroof tends to bang up and down, only when it it is all the way closed. I assume with the stiffer springs and shocks, it's going to be a lot worse, and I don't want to hurt the function of the roof, and i'm REALLY tired of the noise. Is the thing just loose? If so, where do I tighten it up? It just seems to be not locked down all the way, for example, when I shut the door, the air pressure pushes it up a bit. My 79 doesn't do this at all. Thanks in advance for any light that can be shed on this problem.
