Nope. Had a visit by Field Tech Rep after District Rep was unsuccessful.
Tried several things, all without success. Kia is going to send next level
of Rep for evaluation. BTW, my 2006 Sportage has same problem and same
results.

I have more wind noise than i should around the sun roof in my new
Amanti- is there a fix?

Sorry if this offends you, but the best solution is to not get a vehicle
with a sunroof. And part of that solution is for Kia/Hyundai to quit
equipping so many vehicles with them.

I have one on my '05 Sedona - it is silly and pointless, and makes it very
challenging to use the cartop as a luggage rack, etc.(by the time I wanted a
van, the only ones the dealer had left all had this on it). But Kia/Hyundai
bundles their options now (like most automakers, especially foreign do), and
the sunroof is added into the option packages FAR earlier than it should
be - don't know why.

The next time you meet with one of the Kia reps, tell them that - unless of
course, the sunroof is what you really wanted. In my world, most all
sunroofs will eventually cause problems if you have the vehicle long enough.

Don't have sunroof. Noise is from front windows.
 >> Stay informed about: Wind Noise 

Honest opinions never offend me. I did not really want a sunroof but
the only gray Amantis in the south had one. I dont mind one nor the
extra money since the temps this time of year on the Gulf coast make the
roof a nice feature. I am 99%+ sure that the sunroof is the source of
the wind noise that will go away when i close the headliner under the roof.

As for sunroof problems - I suppose if you keep a car long enough
windows will cause problems. I dont like the sunroof wind deflectors
but I am considering adding one - Does anyone have any suggestions or
experiences with those.

My 03 Rio has a noise that sounds like it's running on the white lines on
the Interstate , I think they are called rumble strips ? I originally
thought it was from the road when I first heard it but if wind conditions
are right I can here it at around 35 -40 , always suspected the mirrors for
some reason . Had a Toyota Camry that was in the family for years , never
any noise from the sunroof .

I'm not sure what model Kia you have but I have a 2006 Optima and have
been having wind noise problems on the front passenger side. The
latest they told me is that it has to do with how the mirror is and
the wind is coming off of that and the way it's blowing across the
window. This is the "determination" after they tried saying that the
glass was moving around and replaced that.

thanks for your kind reply

I have a 2007 Amanti and when I close the sliding headliner - all the
noise goes away

I have an 02 Optima. I seem to remember the salesman catching me just
before I drove off and removed some sort of protector or attachment to the
wind deflector that deploys when the sunroof opens. He claimed that many
salesmen forget that, then the customer complains of excessive wind noise.
