Thanks for all the additional comments. I've been making notes and am glad I posted this question -- I was convincing myself it was "just a sunroof 'thang" but you've all brought up good points/things to look for and consider.

To answer the question posed, yes, the car wash is one of those high pressure touchless car washes. I don't see very many non-touchless car washes here in Texas anymore (car washes are big business down here!)
