High speed and more sound from windshield than normal
Just had my windsheild replaced and thought I heard a new sound on the freeway coming from my windsheild.
Took the car back to the shop removed the cover and inspected the windsheild for a 100% seal. Check, then had both side clips replaced as they were broken.
The sound still persists. Has anyone had similar expierence with a fix in mind.
The sound is not intolerable but it is something that was not there before???

Cheapo after market seriously. I
Is this an educated guess or something you have also expierenced.
How would or could this cause a sound issue if its sealed properly.

Lexus glass $1200+, aftermarket $200. I don't know if there is a difference in sound isolation but apparently something is causing the noise and only the glass was changed.

Yep. I just used Safelite to replace my windshield. The first windshield they installed had major wind noise. I had them redo it and it is not too bad now. It is still there a little bid though. Next time I will for sure go OEM and pay the extra $ for my deductible.

SOB... so now I need to fight my insurance company and send my car in the shop yet once again. I hate leaving my car in someone else's hands.
Thanks for the heads up guys
