Yeah so the dealer told me not to go over 60 with the sunroof open. Not just popped, but slid back. Makes sense, but then again it might be fine.
Is this a myth or true? They lie so much it's hard to tell.

never had issues driving highway with open sunroof.. the only concern with that was if rocks hit it hard, it would break.. the older models had a recall and dealer puts a film on the glass so it wont shatter to pieces and go inside the cabin

Is it just me or isn't this issue beyond old news by now?

I know man. I'm trying! Made this thread very quickly before a movie started on my iPhone at the theater.
Edit: title fixed.
About the 60mph and warranty someone mentioned. I'm glad there's some validity to that figure but instead of breakage, my concern was the amount if wind hitting that much surface area at 65+ speeds.
If you watch it, briefly please, it moves around just a bit at those speeds. I usually just pop it up versus slid open.

Whether or not you should I close mine whenever I go over 70 2nd position and I close / tilt it when its in the 3rd position and I'm over 55. Tally me into the paranoid category with some of the tC owners here lol.

there is nothing in the owner's manual about not having the sunroof open above 60 mph. if somebody wants to tell me i'm wrong, please specify what page of the manual says this.
as far as the sunroof goes, i remember it says that you should only open it up to position 2, because in the most open position you can set it to, it says that wind throb is generated. so only open it up to the second preset position when driving, not the 3rd. i've driven mine open to over 100 mph.
just checked, it does not say a damn think about not driving with the sun roof open above a certain speed, but just as i remembered, it clearly says do not drive with the sun roof fully open, it is recommended that you drive with it open only in position 2.
