dont drive over 100 mph

maybe a nice wax job will smooth out the paint and create less drag resulting in a reduction in wind noise.

jk, check the door seals and sunroof seal

Where are they leaking? Doors? Windows? Replace the seals.

Im not really sure, i think its both. The TL is 8 years old while the lexus is 10 years old. Any ideas on where i can buy the seals? I really need to replace the ones on my GS, cuz its really bad in there.

Why would you waste your money on old used seals? Buy them new
