2013 Toyota Prius — windshield replacement created a highway whistle — trying to narrow this down

RotorDaily862Community StarterMay 13, 20262013 Toyota Prius ThreeMiami
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? I am in Miami. Interested in real owner experience more than guesses.

I'd want a measurement, not a hunch. Two 2013 Toyota Priuss can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Have you gotten a second quote in writing? I'd sleep better after that step, even if it finds nothing. Next check is the cheap one I can do in a driveway.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. Swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2013 Toyota Prius and see if the fault moves. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. This is from a 2013 Toyota Prius in Miami. Did the worksheet show tax yet? If this is nothing, great. I want that in data.

Fair point. Counterpoint: Get a real battery/charging test on the 2013 Toyota Prius, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Did the worksheet show tax yet? Worth doing even if the car feels fine right now. Checking again after work.

Log the conditions before you spend. Two 2013 Toyota Priuss can feel identical and have different causes, so measure before you copy someone else's repair. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. On “windshield replacement created a highway whistle —,” that was the fork that mattered for me. That's the whole play. I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.
