fuel smell when sunroofopened

I’m getting a pretty strong fuel smell when driving with the sunroof open. This seems to occur regardless of fuel level in the tank. The smell is faint or non existent with the sunroof closed. I have already replaced the gas cap, some recent fuel work includes a new feeder pump (installed by a Saab indy), and a new FPR and return hose (installed by me). I see no visible leakage in the engine compartment, not around the FPR or the hose clamps on the return line or anywhere else. I didn’t drive the car much with the sunroof open before these fixes, so I don’t have a good baseline to compare.
So, fuel smell directly related to opening the sunroof…the vapor capture canister up front? I have no record of it ever being changed. Any thoughts on good places to look? I know there are about a dozen places these cars can seep fuel causing an odor.
