2008 Honda Accord — windshield replacement created a highway whistle

RoadWrench173Community StarterOct 28, 20252008 Honda Accord EX-LTampa
A windshield was replaced and now there is a whistle around highway speed that did not exist before. Glass looks seated. Any simple way to locate the air leak before taking it back?

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2008 Honda Accord, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. Save the big job until that test fails. Do that first. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2008 Honda Accord and see if the fault moves. That's the branch I'd chase this week. When does it actually happen? A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. Next check is the cheap one I can do in a driveway.

Same neighborhood, different next step: Swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2008 Honda Accord and see if the fault moves. That's the branch I'd chase this week. Stop there until you know. I refuse to clear codes until someone else sees them.
