So dealer said they needed time with the veh to see if they could fix. Dripped veh off on 9-2-2011 and picked up veh on 9-9-2011. They said they had a windshield company look at it and they added silicone or window sealer somewhere and that should take care of the issue. Well it didn't. They say the next step is to replace windshield. So I guess I will do that. Hate to break the factory sealed windshield only to find out it didn't fix the issue. Guess I will see. Calling dealer to set appointment for windshield replace.

Another dealer. They can hear and reproduce it but not sure how to fix. Said they will need time with veh. Its kind of like the change under the soda can in the cup holder rattling. Super annoying. It may not be that loud but I can hear it and it can be heard by service department. It does not take much water to make the sound. A regular wash of the windshield with wiper fluid will in the heat of summer will make the sound for about 15-20seconds. If its raining you can for get it, you will hear the noise the whole time unless its raining so hard you cant hear yourself think.

At speeds over 25mph either with rain or windshield wiper fluid you can hear it thumping at the top of the windshield. I drive my veh sometimes 8hrs straight for work. First noticed with radio on, it was raining and I could hear a water getting caught by air kind of thudding noise. I did not know thats what it was at the time. I took it for service and advised i hear something but could never be reproduced. I took as maybe a leaf got hung somewhere and now its gone. But next rain it was there again.
