Don't tell anyone because it's a secret, but there is this AWESOME thing on this website. I think they call it search.

Well, I typed "Wind Deflector" into it and like magic I got this:

I would use masking tape and apply around the seal moonroof then drive the car. If the wind noise is gone then it probably need a new seal. You can contact Aliga or RJ Distributor, they might have it.

I use the same method of troubleshooting for side mirror wind noise or door jamb wind noise.

This is what I was told by the lexus dealer. Then quoted 1300$ for the new sunroof glass with seal.

If some one can get just the seal, I would buy 2. I looked everywhere online, and spent lots of time searching.
