How does my truck sunroof provide airflow when it is tilted up?

If I’m driving along and my windows are closed but my sunroof is in the tilt up position and the rear sliding window is open a couple of inches, how does the airflow get into the truck if I’m driving forwards? The gap on the sunroof faces backwards…

Just turbulence. It makes basically small ripples in the air that then get pushed in the opening.

Put a long ribbon on a fan to see what that looks like.
