Anyone has gone thru the car wash to find that when you are almost done and start going thru the dry blowers when the car passes the point where the blower is blowing air on the moonroof from front to back when it gets to the back water droplets come inside the car almost like the seal isn't really making a air tight bond

Sounds like a bigger problem than the shark-fin coming off! Check to make sure that there are no leaves or sticks in there that could be breaking the seal.
 
Your car still in Warranty? Prob just needs a adjustment those blowers create huge air pressure (headshake

I am thinking that it might just be the car wash cause when I tell you the blowers lift up wipers off cars ok on one car my girlfriend and I witness the deflector fly off the thing, when you go thru the car wash you can feel the air push the car around like huricane winds I know what that feels like 1st hand in FL

I know what you mean I have one here I use in the winter the wipers rise and the blowers are so strong the air through the vents increase. (rei)

I'm trying to avoid going through those automatic car washes as sometimes they seem to do damage to the car.
 
id avoid any wash with a blower like that. not only wipers and accessories, but weather stripping, sealers, anything plastic in terms of trim is fair game with those.
