Sunroof question

Hey guys...when open my sunroof flap (the little plastic piece that pops up at the front) vibrates at any speed above about 30....It didn't used to do this but seems to be getting worse...i'm thinking weak springs....anyone else had this problem?

i haven't had any problems with that, but bought one of those air deflectors for mine, wish i hadn't! everytime a 18 wheelers flys by me, the air deflector rattles really loud! debating to take it off, just waiting for the weather to get nice to do it!

I have had no issues with mine. I dont open it all that often at high speeds, I prefer the AC, but I do open it in town with the back window, makes a nice air flow through the cab.
