Is this normal?

I have an '09 Camry LE, and the moonroof has horrendous wind noise. I thought it was just the wind because I live in North Chicago, so it tends to get pretty windy up here. However, the noise is considerable even when it's a calm, sunny day. I haven't noticed any leaking after a good rain, or in the car wash. The glass doesn't sit even with the roof of the car. The front is a bit above the roof, and the rear is about 1/4" below the roofline. The moonroof was installed by the previous owner at the Toyota dealership I bought it from. Here are some pictures. Oh, and I read around the forums about "normalizing" the window, which I'll try when I get back to the car.

I got the moonroof to normalize, but since it's an aftermarket moonroof the procedure to normalize it is different than those I've read about. I don't have a manual, and I don't even know the brand. It has Toyota glass in it. I have a 5 button control for the moonroof, it has buttons that say 1, 2, C, <, >. The arrows point towards the front and the back of the car. The 1 and 2 are preset buttons, and the C is close. However, I'm not sure how to program the buttons - it's almost as though I can reprogram the front point arrow to close the moonroof, or to tilt it up.

Any one have any ideas where I could find a manual online?

Take it to your dealer and get the details on the install, see if they can get you some help, since it was dealer installed. Otherwise, start pressing buttons like you're playing video games. Two or more at a time! haha

The dealer did not install that moonroof. They farm out those jobs to companies to specialize in things like that. A factory moonroof would sit flush in the roof and have a wind deflector that pops up when open. These things help reduce wind noise. Does your's have any type of deflector?
