Windshield replaced and now there is wind noise

EcoBuilder27Community StarterDec 6, 20252025 Honda Civic Sport Touring HybridChicago

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'd rather test this logically than start replacing parts. What am I missing?

Get the messy numbers in writing first. Keep sale price, trade, and financing split on the 2025 Honda Civic so a “good payment” cannot bury a worse deal. If they balk, that's your answer. On “windshield replaced and now there is wind,” that was the fork that mattered for me. Parts cannon is a personality type I try to avoid. I screenshotted the quote for later.
