Wind Noise / Front Windshield

When I bought my truck a few weeks ago I was experiencing a whistling noise from my front Windshield when driving above 45 mph. I took the truck back to the dealership. The dealership fixed the issue by taking the frony Windshield out and reinstalling. I was vey happy not hear the whistling noise. But I am still hearing a small amout of wind noise(not whistling) from from front my windshield. I'm not sure if this wind noise is normal.

So I what I'm really asking is: "what are others are hearing when they are driving?"
More specifically: "are you hearing wind noise around your front windshield?"

Re: Wind Noise / Front Windshield

I have found the truck to be so quiet that I can hear a bit of wind noise with the radio off on the highway. Some noise I think is ok. My wifes Highlander, which is a great vehicle, sounds like a hurricane on the highway compared to the Ridge.

Re: Wind Noise / Front Windshield

You have hit my basic question. Is the wind noise I hear normal or part of the infamous Wing Noise problem. I hear the wind from 40+. If I turn everything off, yes it is there. The way I look at it is, if the noise is the same through out the range 40-80+ and I only can really hear if I turn everything off then it is normal.

We just had a Tropical Storm Arlene hit us and I went out on the roads with winds at 30+ and gusting and had the same observation. Wind noise was constant but low and only noticable if I turned everything off and listen for it. So as far as I am concerned, I am not part of the Wind Noise Problem.

I just discovered another long thread post on this subject. Looks like many people have discussed this issue in detail.

If you only found one, you didn't look hard enough. There's at least a dozen.
