Pretty much as soon as we bought the car, we noticed a "reed-like" buzzing sound coming from the windshield area at highway speeds. It would usually only happen when you were driving through a crosswind. See the attached video for an example. Not my video btw.
I tried mentioning it several times at the dealer when I was in for service, but was repeatedly shot down as they couldn't replicate the issue.
It wasn't until I did some research and finally found a TSB for the issue that they agreed to attempt a repair under warranty.
The problem is the rubber "Cowl" at the bottom of the windshield. The factory one was very soft rubber and was easily flexed. The replacement is not.
