wind noise from windshield/vent
I know this has been discussed before...I have wind noise coming from what it seems is either the defroster vent or bottom of the windshield. What I'm trying to find out is if this is due to design or if I have a problem (i.e. windshield isn't sealed properly). Sound still happens when recirculating is set to ON (isn't that supposed to close the exterior vent?)
Feedback is appreciated!

I will have the dealer look at it when I pick up my plates, just didn't want to have a dumb question/observation if it was indeed due to design (it was hard to hear wind noise over the roar of the 3.5L)

I got no wind noise other than what you would expect from a brick going through the air at speed. 
So I got no idea what kinda problem you guys are chattering about???

its an odd wind noise, almost sounds like wind leaking into the cab, its hard to describe other than it sounds like its coming from the defrost vent area...similar sound as if you had a side window open just a crack
i don't remember if my 06 had it because the engine was so much louder (!)

jman, I have a similar verylow wind noise that sounds like what you're experiencing. It sounds like it's just the limitations of a brick going through the airat speed as Doc alluded to. Actually, I'm surprised there isn't more in this blocky vehicle.

RE: wind noise from windshield/vent
It's been talked about here and there on the forums. I have a windshield leak at the base of my windshield, driver's side. I drove a rental H3 that had one on the passenger side. It's only at highway speed and usually on windy days so I haven't worried about it. I figure it'll go away when I have to replace this vertical windshield with a new piece of glass from chips or excessive pitting. [/align]
