Default ANNOYING!! How do I make it stop?!

OK, I've noticed an increasingly present squeal coming from the passenger upper corner of the windshield. It is more prevalent when there is a passenger in that seat. How do I make it stop?? :smash:

Uh-Oh... :eek:

So far the only passenger is Mrs. WPEDirect... and she's definitely not a pig.

Remember, we can't hear the noise, so you'll have to define the noise a bit better (e.g. is it a metal on metal sound, air rushing sound) and also isolate when this occurs (e.g. what speed you are travelling at, does it make the noise when it's idling or parked, etc.).

BTW, this could also be the source of your leaks........

OK, it's a glass on rubber sound - like the sound of worn out rubber bushings when you go over a speed bump. It sounds to me like the windshield is moving in the gasket. It happens at any speed, but more so when the road is not smooth (ie., when there is vibration, it's louder and happens more often.) Thanks!

So you only hear the sound when going over bumps or is it a constant frequency as you drive?
