Howling noise @ 60+mph on new RSX-s
I just finished a search (archived and recent) but the 3 threads I found were both for the EP. Maybe I'm not searching for the right terms.
Basically I just picked up an 06 RSX-s on friday, today coming home from a cruise with some friends i rolled up the windows and closed the sunroof. next thing I know I once I hit 60mph and up it would start to howl. I'd like to try and fix it myself but if I can't I'll take it to the dealer. I just dread taking cars to them.
At first I thought it was the sunroof but it just seems to lessen the noise to practically non existant when you get up in speed. So my thoughts are the windshield seal but I am not 100% positive that's what it is. Any ideas or tips on what it is or how to fix it

It's not the mirrors.
I just got home from testing my seal theory. i put some painters tape on the top seal across the windshield and hit the highway. Up to 80mph it was noise free. Got off the highway and pulled off the tape and headed back to the house. As soon as I got to about 70mph the howling noise came. I hate going to the dealer. I would rather just fix the problem myself.
