Wind noise?
Anyone else have LOUD wind noise coming from their windshields? Starts at around 45 mph and gets louder with increased speeds. Is this the cause of a OEM windshield or perhaps of an aftermarket replacement? I'm thinking about having it re-glued whenever it makes it's way to the body shop for "Re-Sexification"

check and make sure its sealed properly. also check the side windows at speeds to see if the wind u are hearing could be coming from the tops of the side windows. those can be adjusted by the window bumpstops behind the door panel

I've got the the window brushes (bumpstops I assume) adjusted so as the window is pressed firmly against the weather stripping. You think I should try to loosen them up a bit? The glue around the edge of the windshield isn't a "clean" straight bead, that could be the problem.

if the weatherstripping on the side windows is dry, having the windows firmly against it can sometimes cause squeaking. also, as u were saying, there isnt a clean, straight bead...ya that could be causing your problem with air coming in places where there is no sealer. u can try and see if u can feel air coming in or even see if you notice your windows fogging around the edges

I'm pretty sure my weather stripping is still good. I don't notice any fogging either. I'll see if I can get my little brother to take a ride on the highway with me soon. I wonder if I should run it by the dealership or the glass shop. Eh, thanks nemess1, btw.

There are more adjustment points for the side windows than just the two brushes on top...
Check this link for info on proper side window adjustment:
