2023 Kia Telluride — windshield replacement created a highway whistle

HybridMechanicish897Community StarterApr 5, 20262023 Kia Telluride SX PrestigeWestchester
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?

Log the conditions before you spend. Capture voltage while the 2023 Kia Telluride is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. That's the branch I'd chase this week. On “windshield replacement created a highway whistle,” that was the fork that mattered for me. This is from a 2023 Kia Telluride in Westchester. That's the sequence I'd use. Not driving it hard until I know more.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Capture voltage while the 2023 Kia Telluride is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. No need to make it theatrical. Worth doing even if the car feels fine right now. That's my plan before I call anyone.

I'd push back a little: Swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2023 Kia Telluride and see if the fault moves. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. Do that first. Video is ugly but it shows the hesitation.

This is from a 2023 Kia Telluride in Westchester. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. If your situation is the opposite, ignore me. Not interested in a five-hour wait for a shrug.

Not convinced that's the whole story. If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2023 Kia Telluride, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. If they can't show the line item, I assume it's hiding. I'll poke at it this weekend.

If it were in my driveway, move a coil or plug on the 2023 Kia Telluride if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. Save the big job until that test fails. This is from a 2023 Kia Telluride in Westchester. Was this after sitting overnight? I'm keeping receipts and dates in one folder.
