Cadillac: Cadillac SRX - dreadful Ultraview glass roof

Hello ev'rybody,

I live in Germany and my Cadillac SRX (build 2005) drives me nuts. I have
the model with the huge Ultraview Sunroof.
The dealer has just exchanged this glass thing for the third time (!)
because of those dreadful wind noises I get when driving at speeds higher
than 80 miles an hour. To no avail. We are desperately looking for a
practical solution.
It seems that a kind of uplift effect (like on the wing of a plane) pulls
the glass roof upwards at higher speeds and so to come off the rubberfoam
seals, thus creating the wind noise. The machanic says the glass roof may be
bent and there are no adjustable screws or alike to make it press more
firmly down onto the seals.

Does anybody know how to fix this?

1. Some minor noise from the Ultra-View which are usually mitigated
by driving with the sunshade full closed. 2. A sensation of surging
or missing at approximately the 70 - 75 MPH range, most noticeable @
~72mph. 3. The navigation system apparently appearing to loose its
mind on a route that it had previously both successfully mapped &
transversed before. For example, telling me to make a left-hand turn
while on a major Interstate Highway. 4. Rather abysmal gas mileage
compared to the advertised MPG. 5. The internal cell phone system
performing poorly with the people on the opposite end reporting ever
other word coming across, or my sounding as if I am in a cave. 6.
The internal cell phone system randomly placing it's own calls. 7.
Tires constantly requiring reinflation losing about an average of 5
PSI every other month or so.

That would be about the list on my end. All rather weird and nit-noid
complaints that the dealer says don't exist while the car is in their
position. Other then there rather odd & intermittent anatomies I
actually pretty much like my vehicle as well finding it extremely
comfortable, smooth riding, and with a nice smooth power band.
