One problem related to sun roof has been reported for the 1997 Chevrolet Malibu. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
For months the airbag made noises when driving as air was seeping through the rubber border. Then today the sunroof just flew off the car on the highway so there was no way of salvaging it. It broke off the hinges and the sunroof was not open anyway at all. It was the type that you could either vent or slide back.
