Sun roof wind deflector noise

When I am driving at highway speeds, say 60 mph and up and I open my sun roof, the wind deflector vibrates like crazy, so bad that it vibrates my rear view mirror and the noise is deafening. I am refering to the lexan deflector, not the metal strip that pops up when opened.
Does anybody else's do this? And if so did you fix it? I just drove to Fort Sill, Ok, about 7 hours from home and tried to drive with it open, but that didnt last.

A lot of vehicles have that problem. My sisters Jetta and my aunt's Beetle both had that problem. You open it and it sounds like there is a helicopter overhead.

Lower the cargo window an inch to reduce the pressure inside the cabin.

I had the cargo window, and the rear windows down, and it still made the noise. I guess I wont drive with it open on the highway.

Thanks- Mat
