Anyone else: Windshield replaced and now there is wind noise

CruiseLearner89Community StarterDec 10, 20252023 Jeep Wrangler RubiconBay Area
Windshield was replaced last week and now I hear a whistle around 55 mph that wasn't there before. Glass looks seated correctly. Is there a simple way to pinpoint an air leak before going back to the installer? I'm in Bay Area. I'd rather test this logically than start replacing parts. What am I missing?

Cleared nothing. I want service to see the alert on the 2023 Jeep Wrangler first. Doing the boring step first on purpose.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2023 Jeep Wrangler, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. Save the big job until that test fails. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

Quick add on that: If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2023 Jeep Wrangler, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. On “windshield replaced and now there is wind,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Write the result down so the next test isn't a repeat of the last one. This is the filter I use when the thread starts repeating itself. Happens in gear, not in park, for what that's worth.

Ask what changed right before it started. If a shop can't duplicate it on the 2023 Jeep Wrangler, bring a video plus freeze-frame data, not just a story. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. If it doesn't change the out-the-door or the repair estimate, it's noise. Checking again after work.

This is usually cheaper to test than to guess. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2023 Jeep Wrangler is losing coolant with no puddle. Save the big job until that test fails. I'd want a dollar figure or a measured spec, not 'should be fine.' A day of patience here is cheaper than a wrong part. Parking it somewhere I can hear it better next time.
