This happens at around 60mph every time. I'll hear a pop and then air whistling in. It operates perfectly and no leaks at all. What can be the cause of this?

Exact same problem here. I have yet to pull everything out to see the cause.
If I have air coming in from an open window it doesn't crack open, as soon as I close the windows with no air coming in, it pops right away.:hmm:
 
I had the same problem as you are decribing with it only happening on the highway. I had to tighten the screws that held the sunroof to the track. They are star type screws (fogot the correct word for them).
 
the torx screws on the side of the inside window. yes you need to tighten those. our sunroofs are designed to stick up a little in the back and not sink flush with the roof. so if its flush, you need to loosen the screws in the back and lift it up a it. then make sure all are tight. thats what i did and it worked.
 
This happens to my car too LOL. On the highway when over 60 it starts rattling and I hear a damn whistle of air. So either I open my sunroof a bit or I open the window a bit and the sound goes away LOL :thumb:

This is how I fixed mine as well.
