Windshield replaced and now there is wind noise

CruiseGuyCommunity StarterAug 21, 20262023 Ford Bronco BadlandsSan Diego
2023 Ford Bronco Badlands, about 22,000 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? Appreciate any ideas on what to check first.

Start with the test that can prove you wrong. Move a coil or plug on the 2023 Ford Bronco if it's cylinder-specific and see whether the code follows. That's the branch I'd chase this week. When does it actually happen? Your commute and mine probably aren't the same, but the test still applies. This is the version I'd tell a friend.

I hear you, though I'd still want a second check. Write temp, speed, and in-gear vs coast when the 2023 Ford Bronco does it — then decide on parts. That's the branch I'd chase this week. Time, temperature, and whether it's in gear are the notes that actually help a shop. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. Video is ugly but it shows the hesitation.

Quick add on that: Capture voltage while the 2023 Ford Bronco is actually failing — after it restarts you've lost the clue. Save the big job until that test fails. On “windshield replaced and now there is wind,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Monthly payment math is how wallets disappear. Cold start is when I can actually reproduce it.

It did windshield replaced and now there is wind twice this week, both times after sitting. No change in mileage feel. Parking it somewhere I can hear it better next time.
