Default My windshield whistles

Is that normal? It sounds like there is a hole in the windshield and the air is flowing through the hole. It's disruptive and nerve racking cause I don't know where it's coming from.

Was your windshield ever replaced? If so, is an OEM Honda window or not? Because if it's not an OEM Honda window, that's probably why. My dad's vehicle does that.

just replace it, if it's that annoying. Also have you checked your door frame, your weather strip can sometimes cause that noise if it's loose. But it seems like it's more your windshield. Good luck

It doesn't need to be an OEM Honda windshield as long as it's a quality one. My dad has been installing windshield's for 25 years, and he put a pilkington winshield in mine and has been fine. Whoever put your windshield in just did a crap job like not cutting off the old glue or not filling in the gaps where the new urethane stopped and started (in between pumps on the gun ). I say just have it replaced by a well known business..not at billy bob's gas and grill

True, but my dad's vehicle has an "Auto Glass Specialist" replacement window, and it whistles like a son of a gun. So, therefore, I'd recommend going OEM for that reason.
