Sunroof Whistle

I performed a search, but couldnt find anything related to this topic (could have sworn i read it somewhere before though). Once i reach up to 75-80 mph, occasionaly i get a high pitched whistle coming through my closed sunroof. This only happens once it a while, i believe when the wind is blowing the the right direction. Anyone else has a similar problem and would it possibly go way with praying silcone lubricant on the seals? Thanks in advance!!


Car Info - 2006 TL 5AT - ~4K miles

wow 4k miles!! I have 17k on my 07 type-S!! I wonder if I have the highest mileage S... Anyways. Yes I have the same thing but only when I am doing 140-150... LOL!! Honestly you should take it to the dealer, that is unnacceptable. I would expect some noise at 150mph but not at 80.

Yea...not many miles on this one, I have a 1 mile drive to the train station to go to work everyday LOL! Thanks for the info dude, I plan on making a trip to the dealer soon to resolve this and rear deck rattle issues (I "fixed" it but it came back with a vengence two days ago ). Thanks again! Oh, and the sound, honest to god, it sounds like a person is whistling! First time i heard it, I checked the back seat to make sure no one was there! LOL!

put some 303 aerospace protectant on the seals and see if that helps. Also do you have the moonroof visor thingy? if improperly installed, that can cause a bunch of wind noise.
