Windshield replaced and now there is wind noise

V8Hauler14Community StarterNov 11, 20252025 Porsche Macan Electric 4SNew Jersey

2025 Porsche Macan Electric 4S, about 96,000 miles. 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? Trying to diagnose before I book a shop.

Ask what changed right before it started. Swap the cheap/easy piece first on the 2025 Porsche Macan and see if the fault moves. Don't erase codes until someone who can help has seen them. That's the whole play. Cold start is when I can actually reproduce it.

OP here — recorded a short video and noted speed, temp, and whether it was in gear. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

Same neighborhood, different next step: Get a real battery/charging test on the 2025 Porsche Macan, not just resting voltage, before blaming a module. You'll know quickly if you're on the wrong tree. Stop there until you know. Wrote this up on my lunch break.

Intermittent stuff lies if you only catch it once. A pressure test beats staring at a dry driveway if the 2025 Porsche Macan is losing coolant with no puddle. 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. This is from a 2025 Porsche Macan in New Jersey with 96,000 miles. I'd want that in writing, not as a promise. No warning lights, which is why I'm documenting it.

2021 Hyundai Palisade — surface rust underneath a winter daily

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?
