I took some of the blue painter's tape and taped over the rubber molding on both sides and at the top. Voila! Noise gone. Then removed them one at a time to see where the noise might be originating. Ended up being along the top. I haven't bothered to call the installer yet about it, because I almost always have the radio on and can't hear it over the radio. I do eventually plan to get them to redo the molding along the top, however.
XD9X19, When you had the windshield replaced, did you use factory honda glass or aftermarket? The reason I ask is when I had my Honda Element I had some windshild noise but when it was replaced when a rock shattered it I went to my local glass guy and they installed a aftermarket windshield called FYG. After they installed that I never had any noise again. Dave
