2022 Tesla Model 3 — windshield replacement created a highway whistle

HighwayTraveler957Community StarterAug 14, 20262022 Tesla Model 3 Long RangeConnecticut

2022 Tesla Model 3 Long Range, about 76,000 miles. 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? Interested in real owner experience more than guesses. What would you check next?

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Get a real battery/charging test on the 2022 Tesla Model 3, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. If you share a photo of the worksheet, easier to sanity-check. Next check is the cheap one I can do in a driveway.

If it were in my driveway, move a coil or plug on the 2022 Tesla Model 3 if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. That's the branch I'd chase this week. This is from a 2022 Tesla Model 3 in Connecticut with 76,000 miles. Verbal 'we'll take care of it' is not a plan. I'd rather be boring and correct. I'm in no rush to be a hero on it.

There is early surface rust on brackets, fasteners and seams underneath, but nothing structural. For a salt-belt car, what treatment slows it down without creating a hard coating that traps moisture?
