Default Wind noise from sunroof 01 vdp

Professional Jag folks,
I am getting a ton of wind noise from my closed sunroof on my 01 vdp. I bought it from South Texas, where the sun and heat took its toll on this car. I'm not concerned about water (been reading the posts here) but the wind sound is a problem. Would putting on a new seal make the difference? Any other suggestions I try before I go about that project?
Thanks!

I have the same problem and it is driving me crazy. At this point I have sealed the entire sunroof to the roof and the noise is still there. I plan to order a new seal but right now I am wonderign if the wind is entering from somewhere else? Sealing it did lessen the noise but did not eliminate it

I am really puzzled by this problem

I can hear it through the sunroof starting at about 35 MPH

I used Black RTV silicone for this repair on dozens of cars.

The Adhesive Tape might still be available.

I tried the mirror tape thing... no dice.

I siliconed the windshield trim at the top though, and that did it. Used a process of elimination with mask tape. The windshield trim sounded like the sunroof.
