Sunroof bouncing/shaking

The wife noticed the sunroof shaking on my F350 today. With the shade pulled back you can watch it bounce up and down ~1/2" at interstate speeds. Any idea what could cause it? Only thing I can think of on the truck that might cause it it the lightbar (bulldog lighting 50" curved) but not sure. I ran the roof back and then forward to see if it was just a positioning issue but it still bounced.

Since you mentioned it, your light bar is probably causing a turbulence. Remove it temporarily and see if it stops.

Yes it's shut and sealed. I can make the sunroof move up and down ~1/4" with minimal pressure from the top. There is evidence on the headliner of a small amount of leakage in the past. Pulling the light bars is going to be a pain.
